I find that my anxiety about length of day's walk and the amount of elevation is always an issue. Your body is very capable of adjusting but it takes some work to get your mind in gear. Case in point (or rather cases) - I walked a couple of days... -
1: Blisters. Well, and injury. But mainly blisters. But my shoe-sock system worked like it should and i never had a blister on all my caminos or hikes since. 2: Not getting a bed. So much talk about crowds and people sleeping in the streets...

Like.
I have used something my podiatrist gave me -- it is basically a tube, made of a thin piece of foam that goes around your toe. Probably available at pharmacies, my doctor just gave me a short piece. It would, however, take up space, in your... -

Thank you.

NerdGjerd posted the thread Play podiatrist for me: big toe nails ache in 🩺 Health & Medical Topics.Hello, I would like to hear from those who have had to deal with this issue. Has anyone?
