Pain that gets worse with movement, typically is joint/ligament pain.

I would really stop the bike exercise for now. I found that
biking made my feet worse. A recumbant was a bit easier,
but 15min on one was my maximum before foot pain started. |
Thank you sooo much for this link...I saw this once and I have been trying to look for it, but I couldnt. Then you gave the link, isnt that wonderful?
I will try to find out if podiatrists are covered under my insurance. But, first, I will try to get an X-ray request for my feet. The reason why I asked what to look for in an x-ray because I thought the doctor would put this in this their request, sort of ruling out or ruling in certain conditions. And I noticed that as a matter of maybe practice, the x-ray technicians normallly ask the patient what is the complain. Just to make sure, I will mention all the possible conditions you mentioned above to my PCP when I put in my request for the x-ray.
Our stationary bicycle looks like a recumbant bike. When you use it, it does not put so much pressure or weight on the feet. Thank you for mentioning that....
