    Sorry for repeat the topic but I need advise for my boyfriend
    My boyfriend has a big problem with his feet
    He thinks is because he has flat feet
    He went three times to the GP asking for a solution, but any doctor took care about the problem, only send him to foot solutions and nothing more
    He bought in Spain two insoles, but is not a final solution, because the pain is still on his feet
    He can't almost walk, only to go to the shopping and suffering later a big pain
    He can't to do anything else, is all the day at home avoiding any activity
    He finished his work contract months ago and he wants find a new job, but is necessary first find a solution for this
    He is from Spain, he hasn't any public card for the national healthcare insurance or similar
    We don't know the next steps, he doesn't care pay any surgery, but maybe as he work more than three years he has right to the public system, the problem is that he needs a solution now and maybe in a public hospital the surgery would be for a far date, this is the reason because a fast solution is pay the surgery in a private clinic if we dont have a faster solution
    I want to find a clinic, private hospital or doctor that could find a diagnostic and provide a solution, he believes that needs a surgery, but actually could be another solution
    Can anybody advise me? Provide details of a good doctor or clinic in Dublin, advise about the public healthcare system? Anyone had the same problem? Anybody knows how much is the price for this kind of surgery?
    Thanks in advance, sorry for any mistake in my words
    Thanks for read me

    Did he go to foot solutions?
    That's probably the best place to start for a diagnosis anyway..

    But did your boyfriend actually go to Foot Soloutions?
    They are quite a decent and knowledgeable group..... Talk to them first...surgery is beyond my scope but flat feet can be addressed usually...
    Good luck...

    Not all foot solutions are equal, I got a pair of insoles of them for my kayanos.
    Mike Davis monsteravin is the best
