The physio gave me some exercises and I got some shoes to compensate for over-pronation. Worked fine, now I'm running evey other day, for long periods with no pain.
Good luck, it would be awful to lost the ability to run. |
Further to this, I'm very flat footed. No arch at all. I have custom orthotics in $175 running shoes (asics this time, last pair were new balance). Without them, my knees couldn't stand up to any notable running or sports. My hips even get sore if I exercised long enough.
My 'lack of arch' was noticed by a team trainer a long time ago. It was confirmed by a physiotherapist and then by a doctor, who refered me to a specialist.
Made a world of difference for me, may be worth checking out.
