    Things to Do to Help Prevent Shin Splints

    I'm saving this for my next Camino. I developed a shin splint after experimenting with taking longer strides to "speed up" a little. Wow, what a mistake, but I sure learned that lesson.

    First aid on Camino - some thoughts

    Many blessings upon you @David and @JennyH94. I actually have tears in my eyes thinking of your kind and caring ways on the Camino. And to provide such useful information to those of us yet to follow in the footsteps of so many.

    Dear FEET, bedbug bites, and diarrhea,

    Actually, you can get ketoprofen cream (and other variations) in the United States with a prescription. It is similar to ibuprofen. You have to get it from a compounding pharmacy. I use it on my arthritic hands, and sometimes on my feet or knee. I highly recommend it. Works fast and takes...
