They hurt so bad, but I have to walk and stand at work…
I’m in pain and I’m only 23. I’ve tried different shoes and insoles, but nothing has worked. I work at a fast food place as cashier and I’m standing on my feet all the time there. I go home and I can’t sit for long, my 3 year old needs mommy to play. I have high arches in my feet, my feet turn outward when I stand or walk, I have lots of lower back pain that seems to start at my feet, and I’ve spained the right ankle 4 times and the left 1 time.
I’m 5’2 and heavy…would my weight affect my feet?Please, if anyone can help, I’m in pain.

If the place you work at has fatigue mats, use them. Yes your weight can be a factor in your discomfort, but it isbn't the only thing. Other factors are your foot type, the shoes you are wearing, and length of time you are on them. I suggest you see a podiatrist who can make specific recommendations for you.Life is too short to limp!Vivian Abrams DPM
