      Yes. Go and see a podiatrist.

      My wife developed a "mild" stress fracture during our first Camino Frances in 2015 in her knee and heal. After returning to the US, her doctor prescribed a knee brace and she bought a different set of hiking shoes (Saloman trail hiking shoes)...

      An easy and effective way to build up supportive muscles that can help avoid shin splints (and it can be done while sitting on your duff while watching a movie or while reading the Camino Forum!): Sit on a chair, feet flat on floor, knees at 90...

      During the several caminos I’ve walked, I’ve observed my mind provides the greatest challenge - to walk faster, farther and sooner than my body can handle. Whether it’s because of the adrenaline that powers everyone early in a Camino or from...

      willydp reacted to LTfit's post in the thread Tibial fracture after 600 km on French Camino with Buen Camino! Buen Camino!.
      It is indeed a wonder how we can push through pain to continue, sometimes increasing the damage. In 2011 while walking the Vía de la Plata I started to have knie pain on day 10 which continued and increased despite anti-inflammatory meds. I...

      Sure. I think I just pushed myself on the last 200 km out of ignorance. It took me 45 days without walking to recover when I got back to my country and they considered I was really lucky. It could have been a lot worse.

      Hey there! I wanted to chat about my experience on the 2017 Camino Frances. I'm pretty average physically, maybe a tad overweight, did some training (could've done more), and could've lightened my backpack a bit. Started off strong from SJPP...

      willydp reacted to Antnix1's post in the thread Botafumerio out of service with Like Like.
      It takes 8 people to swing it (not saying they're paid but that doesn't mean it should be free). Then you have the cost of maintenance, cleaning, coals/incense, insurance, and if it generates a bit of income so be it. I've heard people getting...
