I would be starting Le Puy route in May but I crushed 3 vertebrae in Feburary. I'm wondering if anyone has carried a back pack on a Camino after a similar injury. I never had surgery but am wearing a back brace until May then will start physio therapy. Is September potentially long enough to revover. L1 vertebrae was crushed the worst and was unstable. But healing is going well with alignment good. I don't have pain and I'm walking 5 km each day now. Does a 12 kilo back pack put lot of stress on a spine. Thanks for any insights. Billy
