Thanks, Scott. For a while there, my plans were evaporating before my downcast eyes! Thanks for the advice to go forward rather than back. SeamusSorry to hear your trouble. Taxi ahead one or two stages, rest for the days you've gained and shuttle your bags ahead for a day or two. You will be fine. Buen Camino and walk on!
Hi, I'm on my first experience of the Camino. Everything was going fine until the stage from Burgos to Hornillos. About 3km from Hornillos, my left shin started heating up. I'm now resting in the lovely Albergue de Sol a Sol at the entrance to the town, but don't know what to do next. Back to Burgos to a Centro de Salud on Monday? Or wait another few days and see what happens?
Thanks, Scooter!Rest, ice, compression, elevation and Ibuprofen. Can't recommend these enough. Results will amaze you.
Also, send pack ahead and plan on shorter distances. You will be fine, I just know it!
Thanks, SY! There's a small pool in the garden here, and it's really cold in Hornillos today, so that's the cold therapy for me!I simply would take an absolute rest day (no unnecessary walking around in the village), drink a lot of non-alcoholic liquids and keep your feet up. Be careful with ice, don't keep it on the whole time, alternate it. See how it goes the day after tomorrow and then make a decision. Buen Camino, SY
thats smart advice Nanc, that and the repeated use of an ice pack got me through .Shorter strides suggested when you come back on
Good luck
Nanc
dont panic,i had the dreaded shin splits and i am allergic to most of the recommended pain killers,very annoying !i used an ice bag when ever we stopped for a break,and just walked real slow,Nanc had a smart piece of advice in saying shorter and softer strides, best of luck,you can do itHi, I'm on my first experience of the Camino.
