text: my ankles are killing me please help!!!? i have flat feet and i have always had trouble with them. i have been having a continuous problem with my ankles.  when i am on my feet for at least 3 hours at time my ankles hurt so bad i could hardly stand. it hurts at my joint under my inner ankles. they dont bruise and they only get a little swollen but i have to stand on my feet for 8 hours a day in agony. i have tried different kinds of shoes and nothing works. the pain is sooo terrible its amazing i can even walk. when i sit down for a while or i come home and rest then stand up after being on them so long the pain is even stronger. i tore my acl when i was 14 years old (now 20) and my doctor told me that i have really lose joints. could this be why. they hurt more and more each day. what could this be? please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have a great webiste for you to check out regarding foot care.  there are several articles, foot care products and a discussion forum.  there are several things that could be going on with your feet in addition to or because of the flat feet.  check it out i think it will be very helpful to you.  use the source as direct link to site.
