I have recently discovered that I have flexible flat feet. meaning that my feet do have an arch, bit once I stand it flattens. this explains the fact that that I feel distracting leg pain while in grocery lines or walking short distances. I thought that was normal!! anyway im probably going to get insoles for my shoes. but im a little shocked because when I told all this to my best friend he said (he has chronic pain) "oh... thats technically chronic pain"

weird

Standing pain can take a lot of self awareness to be noticed. It took me a long time to realise that I can't stand still. For years I was subconsciously constantly moving on the spot in queues, to manage the subconscious pain. Only until I experienced a situation where I couldn't move, did I become aware of my pain. Bodies are amazing at coping. Look after yours.
