Well that sucks but all is not lost. Volteren gel can be your friend although it's a diclofenac which can have side effects so, if you do buy it, talk to the pharmacist about any existing medical conditions you might have. Hiking poles are... -
LYes, very ambitious and common. Think of the ultimate goal which is to finish your Camino -- don't risk it to prove you can do 9 hrs without paying the price. Rest up for the next two days; alternatively, rest up today and resume tomorrow to...

LLadybaguette replied to the thread Injured after stage one and upset.Thank you for sharing this, this is so encouraging to hear!
