<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks....rest is good, but one would have
difficulties finishing the camino...right? What meds can be
applied on the shin splints to releave the
pain? Wanda</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#0080c0>Wrong! You hit on the problem - most
pilgrims push too hard to complete. That just exacerbates foot & leg
injuries. As another writer said - leave yourself at least a couple of
days for R & R. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#0080c0>Meds like analgesic remedies applied
externally do very little for tendonitis. As I said anti-inflammatories
like ibuprofine taken internally are better. Don't pack them - they are
available in Spain at farmacias if you need them.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
