I am so sorry to hear that you're not having fun with the clipless pedals.

Reading your first message and now this one makes me wonder if perhaps the way you start off after stopping has something to do with your falls. It sounds like you're clipping in your foot right away, even before you're moving at any speed at all. I start pedaling with my strong legs, making soft contact (unclipped) with the other foot, and it will be a crank turn or two before I actually clip in with the other legs. It also REALLY helps to gear down to an easier ratio before stopping, so that starting off is a lot easier.

I hope you recover and feel better about this soon.
