Help for flat feet?
I have extremely flat feet, my left foot rolls in and almost looks like I am walking on my ankle, my right foot isn't as bad but still doesn't have an arch. I have shoes inserts which don't seem to help. My knees and ankles constantly hurt and are swollen and I am not sure what I should do. Doctors are just saying I should be in pain and it's nothing that inserts can't help. Should I consider surgery or is there anything else that might help? Thanks!

- you are screwed
- learn how to waddle and be an impersonator
- Surgery may be your best option, if custom-molded inserts aren't working. Sad to say. :( But no one should ever be in pain for the long-term.
- umm...if you plan to get surgery, first be sure to know everything. such as the risks you are taking. good luck
- Look into getting costom shoes. New Balance does make shoes for people with flat feet.
- maybe certain stretches would help...ive been dancing for 10 years so im always stretching my feet and my arch gets better every year...point and flex those feet! it might help...
- My little brother doesn't have any arches either. The best thing i could say would be to keep the inserts. you should've gotten corrective shoes when you were younger (that's what i had to get and i walk fine now) you may be able to find corrective shoes now. good luck.
- You should try rolling a tennis ball under your foot and move it around in circular motions. Two of my friends are "flat-footed" and their completely-different doctors recommended it to both of them.
