bottom of feet and leg pain is on the insied form the shins up through the
knee into the thigh. Pain starts about 5 minutes into ride. Docs cant help,

I think you over did it Gary and now only rest will help for the most part.
Try not riding as hard. Do you get enough calcium cause that does wanders
for cramps for me.
Epsom salt bath is good for relaxing body too. Let yourself heal first.
Wider shoes will help only if you are more comfortable. My feet go numb all
the time and I just let out the laces and shake my feet alot and try to go
easy. holding back is a pain but what can you do.
Ice and heat might help too. Do you warm up before a ride to reduce
injuries? Lighter cadence and stretching will help.

Cheers
Shirley
