I'm overweight, and I've always had problems with my ankles, and lately I've been losing weight cause of excersize, but all the extra strain on my feet is making me feel alot of leg pain. On top of all that, I have flat feet, and if all this wasnt bad enough, i don't have insurance to see a podiatrist. I have orthodics, but I was wondering what would be a way to treat my ankle pain?
One thing that might help is applying heat to the area but before trying that I would recommend seeing a doctor for further evaluation of the situation. Because of the situation of not having insurance check with your city's health dept to see if they offer a free clinic that may be of help to evaluate this situation further.
