Question: What exercises can i do while being bound to bed and my feet hurts?
I hurt my feet and did go to the doc but now it could be that i am bound to bed for some time until some checkups are done and no exercise at all is suboptimal.
So what im asking for are exercises that have at best no pressure on the feet.

I stretched my tendons in both my feet like 5 years ago and was mostly unable to walk without terrible pain for 2 months. After they healed for the most part doctor had me spell out the alphabet with both feet. Not sure if that helps you out or anything but it did wonders after awhile.
You could work on your arms?
Probably just upper torso stuff with weights
When my spouse was bed bound due to a broken ankle, they were told to do various leg raises, clamshells and dead bugs.
will look into them and evolve to bug :)
Thanks for the advice
You might want to just rest instead of sweating in your bed.
To answer the question, stretches, crunches sit-ups twists, dumbell press if you have them, curls, laying down rows
Plan on mainly resting probably and my lowest goal is to not be like the first fish reaching land when i need to go to the doc.
And thank you for the ideas
I broke my spine in two places recently, and can't really stand for long. So my docs had me doing some chair exercises to keep as much core strength as I can before I start physical therapy.
You'll want to ignore the first ones that require planted or moving feet and focus on the dance, core, and upper body ones
Hope you recover quickly :)
Thank you and i also wish a quick recovery.
Will check the exercises out :)
If you have access to a sauna, there are studies associating sauna usage with decreased muscle loss in people with casts
