There is a web site, www.docortho.com ,which had something that seems to help my ankle/heel. There are many products on the site so you may be interested in checking it out.

I would like to know more about common injuries, please post that list. I will be on the camino early May, but leaving US in early April. Thanks,Wanda

The two most common seem to be very serious blisters and shin splints or tendonitis.  Compeed and keeping off your feet help with the former.  Anti-inflammatories and rest help with the latter.  Howard Mendes, NYC
