Fallen Arches. Painful Cramps In Arches of Feet. Posted: 01-13-06 21:24pm
I suffer from fallen arches related to
flat feet. I get extremely painful
cramps in the arches of both feet
regularly. It is particularly a problem
when surfing, as I often experience the
cramps whilst in the water. It is almost
impossible to stay on my board and paddle
in. I have to curl up in a ball for some
time till the cramps subside, then paddle
in. The only relief I get is putting on
shoes with moulded orthotics in them.
How can I remedy the situation? I.E.: to
be able to walk along the beach barefoot;
to go surfing for a few hours at a time;
sleep at night without getting cramps.
Is the condition operable?
