HI Mary,
I had 2 meniscal tears, a fissure on the patella and a floating bone chip before my camino at 59yrs. of age. I understand your dilemma. The pain dictates. Where is it now? Have you been training? The backpack would be best transported if you do decide to do the walk. Less weight on the...
I feel for you. Have you heard of EFT? It is tapping along the meridian points on your body, may be of
benefit for your fear. Might get rid of it....and its non invasive. All the very best...Have a Wonderful Camino!!
Hi Kestral,
Am behind in reading and you are just about to leave for your camino as far as my math goes...

Bon Chemin.
So pleased for you that you found this out now and not while walking. Be it May or September it will be
a beautiful Camino. All the very best to the both of you....
Thank-you. After pressing the send button 2 thoughts came.... Which route is the op planning to walk? And at what time of year? Some are less travelled and perhaps cooler. 2) fleas....perhaps a dog collar that repels fleas or a lavender & tea tree oil spray to repel them? Just a few ideas..
I for one would love to bring my dogs, but that would mean at least 1 very long flight. When walking the Camino this past year I kept coming across a couple from Belgium with their small dog resembling my small one back home. The joy that little bundle of fur gave me and the wonderful encounters...
