    Wounded knee in Arre

    I had blister problems on the Portuguese Camino last summer, and sought relief in Fatima before continuing on. No knee issues! I think the hills just after Lourdes were my downfall this time out.

    Wounded knee in Arre

    I received physio before last year’s Portuguese Camino, and it helped. Should have sought physio before tackling this Camino. I’m still hanging in, though!

    Wounded knee in Arre

    I tried to buy the 600 mg pills, and was asked for a prescription. I settled for the 400 mg pills.

    Wounded knee in Arre

    Right now, getting to the bathroom is my “short” day. Because I have the time, and the albergue will allow me to stay as long as I need, I’m going to listen to my knee and stay put. Damned hard to do. We don’t come to the Camino prepared for a one or two week lay-up. Maybe after a week (or two...

    Wounded knee in Arre

    I’m taking ibuprofen, too. It helps.

    Wounded knee in Arre

    I am the worst person to do this. One of the reasons I took 9 days to do the walk was because I was regularly lost. I don’t know how. Once was somewhat amusing: I passed the same cigarette package discarded in the long grasses of a hill and thought the pilgrim had a big smoking problem. Didn’t...

    Wounded knee in Arre

    Thank you. I’m going to walk to find food now. The albergue has been wonderful about the ice. Good baggie tip for down the road.

    Wounded knee in Arre

    While I’m no stranger to knee pain (see my avatar picture from Sarria, 2013), this did catch me off guard. After starting in Lourdes and taking 9!!!! days to make SJPdP, I’m recuperating at Albergue de Villava-Atannabia. They bring me ice and kind words. ❤️ The damage is not as great as in 2013...

    Tendonitis

    Thank you for your wishes and for sharing your story with me. Soon after you responded, my husband of three months (quite a way to celebrate a honeymoon!) arrived in Burgos. Then WiFi down for good. I'm still on my back, but now I'm in Leon with my husband and WiFi. Ahhhh, guilty pleasures. My...

    Tendonitis

    Thank you for this. As long as the iffy wifi connection holds, I will check this out. I know I can take only one moment at a time, but I sit here alone worried that this might be the end of my Camino. Not the worst thing, but the possibility sits heavily on my heart. I blessed every single...

    Tendonitis

    After twice taking over 10 hours to walk 17-19 kms, my aching knee finally screamed ENOUGH in Navarette. I stayed two nights at El Cantaro in Navarette, then taxied :( to Burgos. My husband will arrive in Burgos from Canada today (our 3 month wedding anniversary) and we were to finish the Camino...
