As usual, you have the most determination of anyone I know. Good job.

I don't understand. Why don't you go to a professional bike fitter? Someone who really specializes in it? The average family doc won't know anything and just assume it is overuse. Well, in this case, the bump in mileage didn't help, but you get these problems with low mileage too so. . . . . There are so many intricacies to cleat placement, pedal types, fit, etc. that I'd be off to one of them in a red-hot minute is I couldn't get the pain solved. What if it is just changing pedals?
