My doctor did tell me that if it hurts, then stop.
I had to have surgery to remove the bone fracture and have the ligaments that were attached to the bone fragment stapled back to the metatarsal.
I asked the doctor if I could have the bone fragment to show the "other doctor" who said that my foot was fine....but he said I couldn't have it....something about medical waste and whatnot....
I teach cycling.....In my certification process ,we were taught to instruct to use flat feet...to keep the foot parallel to the ground...to push through the whole foot.
Edit to add: I just pulled out my instructor's manual and every position describes the foot as:
"Feet at slightly plantarflexed with pedals parallel to the floor."
