I will cross my fingers for your recovery and a pleasant Camino further on. Forgive me my curiosity but how did you tore it?
Thanks Waka appreciatedGo for it Mick the Aussie.
Really sorry to hear about your damaged calf muscle.

My Camino has taken a turn from loving it to struggling to enjoy the beautiful country and people.
I tore my calf muscle outside of Burgos and have limped my way to Berceanos Del Real Camino.
I can not stop and rest it as I am on a schedule and the thing that is keeping me going is the great encouragement of my fellow pilgrims, most of the crew walking past me as I have to get up earlier each day have been fantastic and I just wanted to say thanks.
I know most people who walk past Burgos have some injury whether small or serious and your health is in my prayers.
I am limping in style though Lol
Cheers Mick the Aussie
@Mick McQueen, The options you need may not be pulling out as much as changing your approach slightly to give your body a chance to repair itself. I faced a similar issue on my first camino when I badly twisted my knee just before San Anton. I took a short day that day and stayed in Castrojeriz, and then took care to go more slowly and avoid aggravating the problem any further. I still have issues with that knee from time to time, but never enough to stop me walking, so it wasn't a perfect solution, merely adequate, but I did achieve what was important to me at that time.I have no option of pulling out I have a task to lay poppies on the 8 July at Fimisterre and I will crawl if I have to
Cheers Torbin I'll be thereAh yes, ANZAC Day. Now I understand..... I have nothing but respect for your commitment and determination to endure the pain and fulfill your mission (if I may call it that). But I also recommend a short break so you can recover. I guarantee you, and I know what what I'm talking about here, that no old soldier or veteran will think less of you or your gesture or effort. Quite the contrary.
I wish you best of luck and a speedy recovery. Hope to see you post a thread with "mission accomplished". Cheers!
I have readjusted my walk only problem is I am blistering the right heel, however that is a small omensation and I will take the advice and take a few days in Leon to rest it cheers@Mick McQueen, The options you need may not be pulling out as much as changing your approach slightly to give your body a chance to repair itself.

Haha yep you may as well be happy while they are going well, your team deserves some success cheersShame yer not a Tiger's fan,tigers can walk all day
Wow thanks I am going to have a rest day as one learned pilgrim has suggested but in Mansilla and the Hostelera said his wife would take me to the medical centre for some ultra sound treatmentAbout the taping, here you can see what it is. I could help to take some of the pain away and support your calf muscle.
You will need wifi for this small films
Buen Camino - Ultreia
Thanks to all the pilgrims for there sound advice I have taken note and with the strapping as per the vid, the rest day and ultra sound we will be up and running in no time, Buen Camino to all it is very much appreciated my Camino FamilyMy Camino has taken a turn from loving it to struggling to enjoy the beautiful country and people.

Thanx mate noted and. Oiled in tomorrowYou have the right spirit to go on, but like said before, you have to take care, at least get some medical check, go see a physiotherapist for taping.
I've made the same mistakes (probably will do again, bad habbit) to go on, never ever give up...
But sometimes you can get to a point where you simply can't go on when ignoring your body signals
This is a bigger problem then a blister.
Goodluck & Buen Camino
And you my brother deserve to finish yer walk,take it easy and post from Finnistaire.Haha yep you may as well be happy while they are going well, your team deserves some success cheers
Hi Mick McQueen....feeling for you at the moment and hoping and praying that your leg will alright - tearing a calf muscle is not a happy event at all.....please take care and, if necessary, just catch a bus for a few days or your leg may get worse.......Hugs from Sue in WA.hi Torbin I had just crossed the main bridge that crosses the highway out of Burgos and I slipped on the Soft pebbles on the downslope.I can't explain the agony and what makes it worse I have no option of pulling out I have a task to lay poppies on the 8 July at Fimisterre and I will crawl if I have to cheers and thank you for your prayers it is very much appreciated Buen Camino

UPDATE: I have taken the advice of the learned forum and rested in Leon for two days getting Physio and Doctors advice, I was told by Dr that my Camino was finished but Physio said if I get a me pair of footwear change my pace and gait I could repair it but it would take 15 days of heat and ice and ultra sound, I only went 10km out of Leon and all good, I then went to Hospital de Orbigo and the calf went at the 24 km mark, I have iced and heated it and am now back on the ice and will make it to Astorga tomorrow, thanks for all the encouragement it means a lot, I will be at Santiago de Compostela come hell or high waterMy Camino has taken a turn from loving it to struggling to enjoy the beautiful country and people.
