- Time of past OR future Camino
- Plan to walk around 2022
So my Camino is still a long way off, but last August I badly dislocated and complex-fractured my ankle, which has turned out to be a bigger deal than I ever expected. I’m told it will take at least a year to recover completely, and that some people never fully recover from pain and swelling. I’ve had my first airplane flight and heavy walking trip since the break, with disastrous results - heavy swelling, neuropathy in the foot (numbness, tingling), and pain, to the point that I spent my trip using an electric scooter and needed a week of bed rest to recover.
I am hoping that a couple years in the future things will be better, but wondering if anyone else has walked the Way after an ankle fracture and what worked and didn’t work for you.
Thank you!
