- Time of past OR future Camino
- CF 2012, others, hospitalero, resumed VdlP 2022
I've suffered from a torn meniscus for many years and most recently arthritis in my left knee.
It hasn't ever stopped me walking the Camino and last year when I volunteered at a hostel I walked there to get myself into the right frame of mind. I only have to be careful going downhill or over rough ground - and I admit to the occasional Ibruprofen-popping (though not on the scale that some pilgrims have disclosed elsewhere on this group!)
A consultant surgeon now recommends it's time for a knee replacement joint.
There must be pilgrims out there who've had this surgery and I wonder
1.What's your experience of this surgery?
2.How long is recovery?
3.What has been the effect on your Camino?
Any other advice, please?
Peter
