I'm in my thirties and have flat feet. I have just never really bothered to go to a doctor about it. But I'm starting to worry about the long-term effects. Who do I speak to about this, and what might the options be?
I've had fallen arches/flat feet since I was a kid. It hasn't bothered me too much over the years, apart from wearing out shoes quickly, but in the past few years I've noticed some knee and hip pain which I think might be being caused by my flat feet. I'm also quite unsteady when walking on slippy surfaces.
What type of doctor would I go to in order to discuss this, and what might they say to me? Do you have any experience with this? Thanks very much!
