Can weak foot arches cause calf cramping? i have eds 3 and was thinking my sciatica was caus but noticed arch in that foot collapses with weight on it

Its All Related: Back is related to how the arch fell in your foot resulting in knee joints changing position that results in hip issues then translating to stress in your spine resulting in pieced nerves causing your sciatica. Thats said, likely improving your arch with support/orthotic will help reduce the back pain. Remember this will not happen overnight but will take time and your feet will hurt initially.
