Question

I've had flat feet since childhood and it's causing me a lot of pain now, especially when standing for long hours. Is there any permanent solution for this or would I need surgery? If surgery is the only option, can you recommend the best specialist for flat feet correction? I'm really worried about how this might affect me long-term.
