    I'm glad you're returning to finish, pain or no pain! Best of luck and keep us posted.

    Congratulations, Mark, what an accomplishment!

    Hoping to walk again.....

    OTH86, thank you, this is very helpful and encouraging. I'll look into the exercises you mention. One thing I'm finding challenging is knowing whether an exercise is too much and will hurt a compromised joint, or whether pushing through some stiffness and pain will be strengthening. Running and...

    This is wonderful advice, Backpack45. Really encouraging. You are right and so is Mark Twain, no use worrying, better to work at getting stronger, including with thoughts toward the future.

    Yes, weight is key on those poor delicate knees...I notice my knee hurts more when I'm carrying a heavy bag of groceries. I am hoping I can carry my beloved 15 lb. backpack again, though. We'll see.

    Thank for this, Icacos! My husband had a total hip replacement, and he's had great results with it. I've also read that walking can help against osteoarthritis. The inclination is to baby a joint in pain by not moving it, but that's not the right way to go from what I'm reading...

    Thank you for writing, Falcon. A 5 km max would be a hard one for me to accept! 15 km, ok, that distance gives you a daily rhythm of covering some ground and getting somewhere...Have you had the experience of limited ability to walk distance after repairs and rehab? Seems like there's not a...

    Cumulus V Enlightened bags and quilts?

    I was glad to have my Enlightened quilt walking the Frances mid-April to mid-May, but I sent it home after that since my silk liner was enough in albergues. I just put on leggings and a microfleece if it was a little chilly. (I'm also a cold sleeper.) Yes, many albergues do have blankets. I...

    Thank you got this information, Tom. I will message you. I’m doing PT and hoping that my knee gets better over time, but also don’t want to lose years waiting.

    Hoping to walk again.....

    Hello again, Camino friends! I've been off the Forum for months, but have been thinking about the Camino every day as I continue to paint and write from my memories of the Frances and Invierno in 2016. I was planning to hike from Porto to Santiago last fall--and to hike a Camino every year for...

    I just don't get it!

    That was Alto de Faro, and you're right, it wasn't all day along turbines, it just felt like it. There's a long climb up to the ridge with the turbines, and up to the "Stations of the Cross". I can't comment personally on the other Caminos as I haven't walked them. I actually didn't find the...
