Does anyone here have flat feet and if so, how does it affect you?
I've been referred to an Orthopod and Podiatrist to work out what's been going on with my joints (I've also got flat feet).. but am confused as to what flat feet actually means....?

I have high arches and he reckons mine wouldnt be out of place on a monkey.
Are there health issues with having flat feet then?
I won't know too much about it, until I've seen the Pod really.
I know you can get insoles with inserts in them to support the arch. You can get them from scholls, for about £30, so it might not even be worth forking out money for a pod.
I'd rather see a Pod and get professional advice, rather than buying insoles and not actually knowing if they're helping or could possibly cause problems later on...
Tell me about it. Get my bespoke orthotic insoles next week. THank god.
It's taken me nearly 20 years to get to this point after years of investigations and a bad diagnosis or "sports injury". Still, finally I might get some relief.
Yeah, that's where I ended up after I finally met a physio who knew what they were talking about.
Had biomechanical examination, and plaster cast of my feet...
