I have had flat feet since birth. When I spend a lot of time on my feet, they get quite sore. Could Biofreeze help with the pain?
Answer:
Biofreeze could be an option. After a long day on your feet, you could use it to help ease the pain. I would also look into getting an arch support for when you are on your feet all day.
