HELP! I don't even know what I did, but my heel is flared up. After doing research it looks like Achilles tendonitis. Ugh! I am currently resting it, and tried start walking again this evening, but it's still too tender.
This is my first Camino at the ripe young age of 62♡ I am planning on the CF starting in Tricastela, and I'm believing /hoping all will be well and I will be able to walk without pain....Please provide, Camino ...
I had been walking most days to prep, weights at the gym 2x a week, and doing brief inclines on the treadmill. I was just about to start walking with my pack and increasing weight, and now this. Grrr .
I have to refigure my shoes. I was leaning towards ASICS trail runners I got. They are comfy -sneaker like, but don't have a lot of structure, and now I realize I need to stabilize my heel when walking.
I have a pair of LA sportivas that I held onto. The are roomy enough and stable, but not cushy enough.
I have tried an couple of different insoles, nothing quite right unfortunately-
and now I really need the one to help with heel pain.
I am looking for any advice on experience with heel pain or suggestions for specific shoes, or Insoles. or wraps, braces., etc.and what you did to walk with this issue. Also any exercises etc.
Thank you in advance, peregrinos ♡♡
