    Knee Injury

    My kind of cure. I will try it over the next week and if it works will be forever in your debt.

    Knee Injury

    Hi Carla, Who knows. I will keep a look out. Keep an eye out for me. I wear an Aussie hat and have New Zealand badges on my pack.

    Knee Injury

    Thanks Scott. Doctor has recommended not to overdo the anti inflams so I haven't taken too many. Your advice on listening to your body is excellent. Rest assured I will do what I can do. If the walking gets to be a problem, on whichever camino I do, I may look at biking some of the journey or...

    Excellent point Carla and yes, I do drink a lot of water when walking and a couple of cold beers when finished.

    Knee Injury

    Thanks Tia Valeria. I had gone off the idea of the Ruta do Mar as I was looking forward to the Norte & Ingles. If my knee doesn't improve to where I can go ahead with these I will look at the Portuguese which is a lot flatter. I am remaining positive & hopeful that I will be able to proceed as...

    Knee Injury

    Thanks Carla. Some new tips which I will take on board, especially the taping you describe. The physio has shown me how to tape to pull the kneecap over but not using the tape or methos you describe. I have been swimming but not 4km a day a few times a walk. I have been to a podiatrist and my...

    Knee Injury

    Thanks for your advice. I haven't seen an osteopath so I will make an appointment. Do not know why the kneecap moved. Had been for a walk and it just swelled up.

    Thanks Sharon.

    Knee Injury

    Thanks Arn. Have been taking anti inflams. The main problem seems to be that the swelling will not reduce and this is what has the doc and physio stumped. They are going to try cortisone to see if that will dry up some of the fluid.

    Knee Injury

    I have been, and still are, doing exercises to strengthen the thigh muscles and have also taken a few courses of anti inflame pills. I was planning on walking the Norte and Ingle caminos, starting mid May ( have walked Frances) but may have to change to another route or delay until the autumn...

    Knee Injury

    Hi, Hoping I can get some help from the forum. Back in December my right knee blew up like a balloon after I finished a walk. Went to Doc and for x-rays and the x-ray showed my patella (kneecap) had moved from the centre of the knee to the outside. Is called patelloformoral pain syndrome. After...

    Post-camino tattoo?

    I walked quite a way with 2 other people on the Frances last year and at one point someone suggested we should each get a tattoo to remember our journey. I am 65 and have never been a tattoo fan, even though one of my sons, who is a jeweller, does tattooing, but over the next few days I thought...

    Disappointment at Ponferada mega albergue

    I stayed at the Ponferrada San Nicolas albergue in June and was also disappointed. My, and other guide books clearly state quote "200 beds in small rooms of 4 plus overflow space" unquote. I was in the first 6 to register and was taken down to to an underground room that slept 50 - 70 persons...
