How To Treat Frequent Pain Leg Aches And Lower Back Pain In A Person With Flat Feet?
I am experiencing pain off and on down the lower left leg on side of leg and some burning feeling sometimes it feels like cramp and other times grabbing pain. I have flat feet and suffer from bad lower back from time to time. Also both my legs have been aching off and on over the past week.

Hello, Thanks for your query. The presence of flat feet can cause overpronation, which causes altered biomechanics at the kneeand lower bacck with running or jumping activities. This may require corrective orthotics or simply an arch support. direct examination will help in proper diagnosis. To help decrease your symptoms, you can start taking tylenol double strength twice daily after meals. Improvising your body posture and doing light exercises like aerobics will help in maintaining the muscle tone. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
