See a specialist.: Your daughter may have already seen a specialist, but if not, she should see either a podiatrist or an orthopedist (if possible, a pediatric orthopedist). She should be evaluated for arthritis, tendinitis, and other lower extremity problems. The pain may not be just from her flat feet.

Flat feet: I also have flat feet so I know. She should not wear very flat shoes. She should not walk barefoot at home . In the house she should Wear slippers with little heels. I hope this will help her.
