To my complete dismay, I was diagnosed yesterday with arthritis in one knee. The pain came on very suddenly and has been acute enough that I have been unable to work this week. I stand and walk a lot in my job. I am rather unfamiliar with arthritis. I was given oral medication and physical therapy by the orthopedist.
I am very worried that this might mean no future camino for me. It makes me want to cry. Are there forum members out there who have osteoarthritis in their knees and still manage to walk the camino? If so, how?
I was so distressed in the doctor's office I failed to ask him about this.
