First, if this isn't the correct place for this post, I apologize.
Now, my issue. Last week I broke my ankle just bringing the trash can in from the street. I had planned for a camino this year. My doctor has said it would be healed in time and out of the cam boot but he is very concerned that I would reinjure it if I attempt the trip this year. He did think that next year would be better.
His recommendation includes boots that are higher around the ankle and a brace, but gave no definite "brands".
For anyone on this forum who has broken an ankle, have you successfully walked the Camino after breaking an ankle? What equipment did you use? What would you recommend? Are there training tips for rehab you would recommend? When on the camino, what should I expect now from my ankle (pain, sore, slow, ??) ? Any specific brands of boots or braces that are recommended?
Thanks in advance for any help.
