Flat feet cause very bad foot and ankle pain?

Orthotics: You would need an evaluation by a foot and ankle specialist to determine the cause of your pain. Simple treatments include orthotcis and more extensive treatments can be surgical realignment of the foot.

Flat feet: Absolutely, plus knee, hip, and back pain as you get older. See foot specialist to control flat foot. Good Luck

Maybe: Most people with this condition have no problems from it. It is no longer a factor in military recruits. If it seems to be a problem, see a podiatrist or orthopedic Dr.
