▲ 2 r/flatfeet
20+ years of being told I have accessory navicular bones. Had new X-rays taken yesterday. Nope. Flat feet with left foot with > 50% talus bone overhang
Dr. was shocked that previous podiatrist got it wrong. I’ve been wearing custom orthotics for the last 15 years or so, and went in to get a new pair. This was my first time doing 3-D scanning and gate tracking rather than the traditional clay mold. They did about a dozen x-rays on each foot.
My right foot he said it’s flat with about a 15% talus bone overhang. My left foot he used the word hideous lol. > 50% talus bone overhang causing massive arch and ankle pain. The real kicker he’s said is that if this was caught 20 years ago properly, they could’ve done surgery with a high degree of success, but that now the success rate is much lower FML.
