Lightbulb the elliptical may be better for you.

Treadmills are hard on some people.

I don't think you should EVER exercise when you feel pain.
There are other ways to do the same thing.

Some of the ellipticals now with foot pedals that go down, and very low impact. There is even a good new machine called the Nu-Step that is moving out of rehab into gyms. See if you can find it. I really like this one. It reduces the impact on hips, knees and feet and gives a good aerobic workout anyway.

A good evaluation by a reputable podiatrist may identify some
foot issues with you that can be corrected.
