FINALLY, a professional who knows what he is talking about. First mention of FLAT FEET anywhere

This is exactly what I have been dealing with for over 5 years now. It doesn't appear on X-Rays and the doctors I have seen seem to think there is nothing wrong, to the point where I have reached a limit to acquiring professional assistance in my community on Canadian healthcare. The pain, especially when the ankle locks up, is so severe that I have been out of work for 2 years without compensation. Thank you for explaining this injury. Hopefully I can now find someone to follow up on it and help me out. This injury has really altered my life for the worse. Best wishes.

Suffered with this issue for years and its only after your video that I can share its name with my clinical team. Thank you.

Did a 16 mile long run when my previous was only 10 and my weekly mileage was only 28 a week. I didn’t take a rest day the next 2 days and got this. Lesson learned

Finally, I understand and put a name on the problem. A huge thank you. ❤

I have electrical zaps of pain in this area even when resting and it’s excruciating . Am grateful to have found this . Does anyone suffer from this debilitating sort of pain ?

[azsegrxdhtfgvijnkomlewrhtg]

Yeah I had pain and weakness there. What helped me was standing calf raises. I had immediate relief after doing a 5 set and 5 rep workout. The ankle feels much better now.

Wow!!!! finally!! I think that this is what I have! I've been trying desperately to find some self help videos and everything is mostly Achilles tendinitis or some other ligaments, finally I think I found it!!! Pretty much everything you were saying fits my profile!! And it's exactly what I was doing, trying to do those rolling motions to try and relieve the crackling and tendon grinding that is giving me sooo much pain!! It's not working 😩😩 exasperation comes to mind!!!
I keep having pinched bloody anchor for NO reason at all!! Just walking!

[natescorner]

I think I have this, it’s dull but it’s really bad sometimes. Had it for years since pre pandemic

[gusgambatese]

Where are you located?
I'VE HAD ANKLE PAIN FOR 3 MONTHS AND NOTHING HAS HELPED. TRIED EVERY DOCTOR IN SOUTH FLA

[lindafreudiger]

Just watched this, and it works, thanks sooo much!

I'm 66 with a history of many sprains while playing basketball in my younger years. Now I have sharp pains in right ankle in the area described in video when doing yard work (uneven surfaces) and on my feet for several hours. Pain, at times, will almost bring me to my knees to get weight off it. I wonder if I have this sinus tarsi syndrome. Haven't played ball in 35+ years.

[habtamusium]

nice solution . I Just plan to apply tonight at my wife problem . many thanks !

I rolled my ankle severely while playing football 9 years ago. I've been dealing with this excruciating pain all these years & I just can't seem to get rid of it!

[Cristoforo]

I went from years of wearing heavy, steel toed work boots to fancy Italian leather dress shoes in one day, so I could look nice for some formal event I was attending. No support. Collapsed arch? By the end of the day I was hobbling to get home. Tons of pain, even while resting in bed. The pain can be so bad I lose the ability to stay upright; my strength in that foot totally disappears if I stand on it. It’s like a pinched nerve or tendon.

[bvalenz]

I used SuperFeet green insoles that fixed the pain. If I don’t wear them & walk in 👟 or 🩴, top of my feet get sore

More recently, i was standing @ thought a wasp got in my left 👟& stung me. It felt what I imagine a 🦂 sting would feel like. I need to get it checked out again as this was far worse than when I was originally diagnosed several years ago & resolved w/insoles.

[flippers]

i often have this problem after standing too long and i am aware that my foot turns out and compress that ankle area. i believed this is a flat foot problem because my foot looks flat, but recently i did a "wet foot test" which i wet my feet and step on a cardboard to see the footprint. in that test i found i may actually have high arch, so i am really confused now

I have always this problem while gardening. What I do is have a brace 10 bucks from amazon, strap it, rest your feet, elevate, take tylenol if their is pain. The next day it will disappear. Please don't do any surgery, they made it worse. I know some people who did with back pain, foot pain become worse on their condition.
