The pain in my feet and legs is even noticeable when I am doing the stationary recumbent bicycle. I dont know how to explain this because walking should be more painful as your weight is in your feet and legs while pedalling in a stationary recumbent bike relieves your feet from the weight.

I know exactly what your talking about, strange isn't it. Every morning I sit on the side of my bed and go through this routine of calve stretches and ankle rotations before I can stand. I then stand, curl my toes as far down as I can so only my heels and toes are holding my weight and then I slowly take one step at a time. In about 2 hours I'm walking pretty normal. Standing is just painful period! I've had the tendons in my ankle released in a effort to help with the pain but I have no idea if it helped since I don't know if would of been worse if I wouldn't of done it.
