Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] Hello, about 5 months ago I started getting terrible pain in the arch of my left foot where the heel meets, now the top of my right foot and the same area as my left is having horrible pain as well. I am a medical assistant, on my feet regularly, I have gained an unusual amount of weight in the last year due to another medical issue, could this be due to the weight gain or have I acquired flat foot? :(
[|AI|]  Both possibility are considered yet if you are seeking treatment I suggest a quick test stand on your heels toes up in Doris flexion while leaning forwards for 1 min, if pain improves then u need to wear an arch and lose weight along with professional physical therapy to shift weight from heels to toes again if that test does not help then you should consider the possibilities of stress fracture or trauma from long periods if standing Hope I could be if help Good Luck
