Based on your answers there is a possibility that you have adult acquired flatfoot. Adult acquired flatfoot is also known as posterior tendon dysfunction (PTTD). It is a medical condition characterized by impaired function of the tendon that supports your foot and helps with walking. The weakened tendon loses the ability to support the arch of the foot resulting in flattening of the foot. This condition is more common in women than in men. It is common in people older than 40, people with diabetes and hypertension, and obese people. The symptoms include pain, swelling, and progressive flattening of your foot, and will change over time.
Based on your answers there is a high possibility that you have adult acquired flatfoot. Adult acquired flatfoot or posterior tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is a medical condition that refers to progressive flattening of the arch of your foot. There are four stages of this condition, depending on the severity of the symptoms, tendon damage and foot deformity. One of the common signs of PTTD is the "too many toes" sign - when you look at a normal foot from the back, only the 4th and 5th toes can be seen, while in people with this condition, you can even see the big toe.
