An extra post just to let everyone know how it's going.
I've been to a physical therapist twice and the diagnosis is a severe cramping of one of my glutei, caused by overcompensation for my back pain. Because I kept walking, it got worse; to the point where treatment was very painful. But it's a light injury, though it will take 4-6 weeks before I'm free of pain. With painkillers, stretching, and taking it easy there is a lot of improvement. I'll have to be careful for a while, but it is not a bad injury.

Because I feel very dissatisfied with this end of my hiking trip, I have decided to go back for around 10 days in September, to finish this stretch into Italy that I couldn't do this time.
