I’ve got flat feet. I’ve always known this. What I didn’t realize, until my podiatrist appointment the other day, was just how flat they are.
Any time a doctor uses the words “severely” and “only” in the same visit, it’s bad.
“You have severely flat feet.”
“The only thing that will help are some ortho-somethings for your shoes.”
No magic pills, no admonition to lose weight. Because anything I do won’t help. Even if I slim down, my feet, and thus the alignment of my body, will still be jacked up.
What’s worse is that my insurance won’t cover the $600 for the inserts.
And the pills I got subscribed are $94 for a months’ supply.
I want a second opinion, but even so, it looks like upgrading the aging innards of my computer will have to wait.
I’m confused.. Aren’t feet supposed to be flat? What part of your feet is wrong? Anyway, good luck with your treatment, I hope everything goes well..
