Hi! I started the camino from Porto on Monday. Since yesterday my knees have been giving me terrible pain and one of them is also swollen.
I’ve decided to take today off (and depending on how I feel I might also rest tomorrow) but to continue I will need to find hiking poles to distribute the weight a bit.
It seems very unlikely that I’ll find them before Ponte de Lima but might be worth a shot, perhaps someone has gone through a similar situation or might want to get rid of theirs. Or should I just find a taxi to take me to a bigger city where I have better access to equipment, pharmacy etc.? Any help is appreciated!
