      Thank you. I'm home and healing slowly. What a process! I do hope to return and finish the Frances!

      So sorry this happened to you. I see that you've already decided to return home. But just in case it's an option, in 2022 I had a stress fracture on my shin and ended up buying a used bike in Pamplona to finish my Camino. I don't know if this...

      Sorry you have to quit but I do believe you've made the right decision for the long term. My head feels happier now I've reached the time I would have finished and made it home! I know it was the right for me to do if not what I was...

      Hola @mem, when we age (I'm 75) some things start to break down. Now that you have a reasonable diagnosis of the problem the decision is yours. As one who has had some bursitis rest and pain killers are the only solution. Yes it will be a little...

      Sorry to hear the outcome. But to go on doesn’t sound like a great idea. :oops: Seems like you got the right advice. Maybe best to head home and recover…. Best Wishes and try not to be too disheartened.
