Is pain due to flat foot?

Hi,

I am just looking for general advice (I have consulted doctors with no success and long and expensive tests). I have pain in my lower back that is also present in my achelies tendon region and the sole of my foot, particularly in the heel center, towards the inside. I have sore points on the side of my buttock too (both sides) . Sciatica has been ruled out with MRI and all things are healthy in the nerve area but the pain is persistent and dull, and increase at night. Btw i am 24 years old.

The pain is not severe but it is irritating. It reduces while going to workout but increase when stationary.

I am attaching some pics of my foot to give a better view of my structure.

Do u think my pain can be explained through my support structure and if yes, how do I alleviate it?

Hi everyone,

I am currently in a masters program in engineering and was set to start my doctoral studies under my current advisor (in a core area of my interest). Unfortunately, our funding fell through and he can no longer take me on for a PhD. I reached out to another professor in the department and they took their time out to physically meet me, introduce their lab and to explain the potential projects in their group. Even though their appointment is in my engineering department, their current focus is on another discipline (the core science is the same, applications vary). They are very willing to take me on as a PhD student but I don't feel very confident about the research direction. Again, the physics and math is the same but the application area is way different than I imagined to ever work in.

How do I politely decline this offer and not strain the relation? They have been kind to me over the last few semesters and it was me who asked them for some project. I feel that if i start a PhD in this area, i might not like it and it would become a burden. I would like to do some research in the original application area (where the current funding got terminated)

All advise are highly appreciated.
