When is surgery needed for flat feet?
Almost never. Many people have flat feet and are normal. Pull up your toes. Do you get an arch back? If you get pain from the plantar fascia pulling tight try some orthotics. I like Superfeet, the green colored ones READ MORE
When should I see a doctor for rib injury?
Not usually. The only time is if the lung is involved. We don't recommend wrapping ribs like in the movies. They heal fast. This is just a general answer not your particular medical advice. READ MORE
