Visited CGH's Sports Medicine Centre today to check on my feet. I suspect that the pain in my tendons is due to my flat feet. The doc checked and yes, i have flat foot on both feet. Luckily it is not THAT serious.... BUT i seem to have symptoms of foot problems which arises due to flat foot.
The doc did a series of tests on my feet. It was rather interesting cos he knows which part of my foot hurts. Best part was when he mentioned ... 'you sprained your left ankle recently?' I was like 'Huh? that was like 5-6 weeks ago.. i thought recovered liao?' He smiled and pressed down on the spot ... ' pain right?'
So that led to my feet being ultrasound-ed. He showed me the inflammation of the tendons, and cos i have flat foot, that particular tendon will take a long time to heal. So .. no more jogging for me for the next few months. Have to go back again make my customised orthotics, which is a pair of insoles to support my arch/tendon of my feet. This should prevent other foot problems from cropping up.
If only i had the knowledge that having flat foot may lead to so much problems, i would have gone for this when i was in the Navy back then. =P
