Does that help you see the bright side of everything?I have visited an optometrist
After last year's Caminos I have been diagnosed with a calcium growth on my heel. I don't know why but it hurts more some times than others. I am doing the stretching suggested by the quack but it doesn't make much difference. It is interfering with any training for this year's planned Camino Madrid.Anyone else have this problem?
Just returned from 6 days in Barcelona where I found that it caused me some problems while walking around.So I am getting concerned about this year's walk. (Mind you I did have a bad cold and was therefore permanently tired and in lower than normal spirits. Though they were raised when greeted back Tuesday afternoon by my youngest daughter who promptly persuaded me to go with her to Granada to visit the Alhambra in two weeks time. Flights booked even before I left her!) So some hill and heat walking practice soon?
Seriously though. I am now thinking the Frances from Pamploma might bean advisable option instead of the Madrid/Frances this time. That way I have much more opportunity to have shorter days/transport as I find necessary.

Glad you got it and could see clearly my poor attempt at humour.Does that help you see the bright side of everything?
All, if you have visited an optometrist, that may be the root of the problem ;0)Thanks people. Your comments are appreciated. I have visited an optometrist. Sorry to hear you are suffering too Anemone and Annie. Any input to the thoughts of the Frances being a better option anyone?

Sorry I can't offer any remedies - hope you get well soon. Only comfort that comes to mind is a glass of good spanish wine! Your daughters suggestion to visit Granada is wonderful - The Alhambra is one of those places that enrich the soul - enjoy.After last year's Caminos I have been diagnosed with a calcium growth on my heel.

You gotta do what you gotta do!I may have to quit my job
Oh C Clearly, you have no idea how tempted I am. Just imagine: 1 month on the Camino, 1 month at home. 1 month of the Camino, 1 month at home. And when winter hits: scuba diving!You gotta do what you gotta do!
Hi Al, sorry to hear of your heel problems, I hope that one way or another you will overcome it and be able to continue your Caminos.....As you were the first person to welcome me to the Forum and tell me that I had ...number of sleeps until I set off, they were in the hundreds then, now I find myself with only about 15 sleeps left and I am getting nervous, have I done all the homework,check, will my legs hold out, hopefully, am I fit enough, maybe,etc. etc. walk it I will, as we say here may the road rise to meet you, and may the wind always be at your back.....Ps..My Aunt lived in Wolverhampton all her life, I visited there once way back.......Best wishes and many more Buen Caminos..After last year's Caminos I have been diagnosed with a calcium growth on my heel.

I get heal spurs too. They come and go for me. I currently have pain from mine. This usually means t Is time to buy a new pair of shoes. Within a week that usually resolves the pain. I've had them since childhood. Massaging by rolling your foot on a golf ball to lengthen the muscles in the arch of your foot also helpsAfter last year's Caminos I have been diagnosed with a calcium growth on my heel.
