Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

You need a detailed clinical & radiological examination to assess the severity of your foot deformity.

Momentary pain relief can be obtained by using over the counter pain medications like advil or aleve. You can also use specially designed shoes with good soft padding inside them & medial arch supports for your flat feet.

I feel that permanent solution for your painful disfigured foot would be surgical correction either in the form of osteotomies or arthrodesis.

Consult an orthopedic surgeon for a detailed evaluation and further management.

Hope this information is helpful. Good day
