    My son is 10 years old and has been seen by a doctor who is recommending foot surgery for his flat feet when he is 11. My son inherited this condition from his father who has flat feet and now has knee and ankle problems. My son is very athletic but has a problem running and tires quickly, he is big for his age 85% according to range of children his age. Typical lineman in football, guard in basketball and slugger in baseball! I am worried about recovery and overall outlook for his future, the doctor says this is the way to go. any suggestions?
