Unfortunately patients very rarely notice that there arch has dropped.
However in some cases we can see only very slight arch drop but hypermobile ankles are often to blame in these cases.
Pain at rest is not always normal - except in very chronic cases -was it always like this or is this a symptom of progression? e.g. did it start only hurting during day and only recently started to hurt when not doing anything.
Would you be able to give me exact locations of pain maybe a drawing or a scanned picture with some pen shading.
As far as the arms. Does the pain throb, is it sharp or dull. What movements cause irritation? & what makes it feel better (meds, positions, movements)?
