    New foot injury -requesting advice - do I cancel my Camino?

    Thanks to all of you for sharing what you have learned. I read each response over the last few days as I discerned what is best for me. I have decided to cancel my trip. I feel deflated. I’m sad and disappointed, but the only thing that makes me feel better is that I know this is the right...

    New foot injury -requesting advice - do I cancel my Camino?

    I am supposed to start walking out of Porto on June 5th, and I have suffered a recent injury. I wasn't sure if I should post this under medical issues or CP. I am choosing CP because of the terrain in Portugal - and I thought those of you who walked it could give me your experienced opinions...

    I probably won’t do this again

    I hope things have gotten better since your post. We've all been weary pilgrims and some of us also know the struggle of sleepless nights. I find it unfortunate that people have to leave sarcastic comments. My bottom line is that I know your pain. I use albergues for two or three nights in a...

    Most effective way to use Compede?

    You are such a great help. As I read #8, I just want to clarify...You put moleskin, tape, etc over the blister so it covers the surrounding area. You don't put anything else over the blister itself? And the tape will not adhere to the roof of the blister if I put an antibiotic cream on it? Do...

    Most effective way to use Compede?

    Hi, When you say "cut open" a blister, do you use a needle to drain it? Can you explain in more detail? Thanks, Lynne

    Most effective way to use Compede?

    That was so helpful. Thank you for the link. Everyone should see this. If you read the thread, you'll see that there are multiple opinions about how compeed should be used. I'm glad I got this straightened out, but I hope I don't have to use them! Thanks again! Lynne

    Most effective way to use Compede?

    Hello, I have read that Compede is to be used after a a blister has ruptured and when the top layer of skin has come off. I also understand that one can wear them for longer than a day. I used Compede in this way on my last walk and thought they were okay to wear in the shower. But what I found...

    Specific hot spots for blister. Looking for suggestions...

    That makes sense. My old boots felt a bit snug in width after a bit of walking. My new boots are much roomier. Maybe that will make a difference. I will where them a bit looser in the front too - good suggestion. I'll experiment. Many people have given great suggestions. I'm so thankful. Thanks...

    Specific hot spots for blister. Looking for suggestions...

    Hello, I've searched several "blister" posts, but I can't find the answer to my specific blister question and I'm hoping someone out there might have a suggestion. I tend to get blisters on the pad of my foot: front, a bit below my second and third toes. Even after a long walk on paths around...
