Foot pain in Vigo

[702Jenn]

Hi there. 6th day of Camino Portugues Coastal. For 3 days I've had pretty bad pain on the top of my right foot, right below my little toes. Resting and elevating haven't seemed to help much. I am limping along and taking buses and trains.

I am in Vigo now which is a pretty big city. I'm thinking of seeing a doctor or getting x-rays, any advice? I'm afraid it might be a stress fracture.

Getting to a medical centre would be a good thing to if you are concerned and it is as debilitating as you have described. Consider a hospital emergency department if need be if you cannot find an open medical centre.

There's a good hospital in Vigo. I'd head to the ER and get an xray and an exam. Good luck and Buen Camino!
