You have to view him as a chick not a human. Animals don't get all worried about their future or what they look like. Sounds like he is doing well with eating and drinking and is able to get around - rather than letting all muscles atrophy. If he was in pain he would cry out and probably not even try to get around. Some folks put young chicks in a cup, that holds the legs in proper position and makes standing possible.
It's easier to do than trying to bandage feet. Lots of success stories with the cup method.
