Do you think I am crazy?
Will check that. Tks for bringing it up..I would just like to bring up the subject of travel insurance. Would insurance cover you since you have an existing condition that required treatment?
I had a spinal fusion 9 weeks ago, and I am still not walking very far. I thought by this stage I would be able to walk at least 6 kilometres. When I walk I have pain in my hip and my groin. I have started swimming and walking in the pool, and also see a Physio once a week. And a biokinetist twice a week. My concern is that I have booked and paid for my ticket to Biarritz. I plan to start walking from Navarrenx in France, (where I have arranged to meet my friends from Australia). We met in Orisson 5 years ago, and walked together to Santiago (meeting every couple of days).. And we have arranged to walk again this year. starting on the 3rd September.
I know I can walk with pain killers (I did it last time - I had two synovial cysts that were pushing on my sciatic nerve), and I could always send my pack ahead every day. And perhaps catch a taxi occassionally?
Do you think I am crazy? I know the Camino will always be there, and I still have 12 weeks to go before we start walking.
Anyone else walked with health issues. I will obviously monitor how I do closer to the time!
Thanks!
September is still three months away and with good rehab perhaps it will be doable. You can always walk as much as you can and take a taxi every day and meet your friends. My sister had a fusion in the lumbar region and, because she couldn’t drive, walked everywhere. Good luck and perhaps we’ll meet in SeptemberThanks everyone for your responses. I will see how I do closer to the time. Just annoyed as the doctor told me I would be able to do the Camino by September. BUT there is still time. Still have a while to go till September! Buen Camino
