After the Spanish Royal Family raised alarm bells about the health of Queen Sofia of Greece, now the physical condition of the wife of King Felipe VI is what worries the followers of the Bourbons.
As is usually the case after each event in which she appears, Letizia Ortiz once again became a trending topic on social media, at the end of the first day of her state visit to the Netherlands, because during the gala dinner offered by Willem-Alexander and Máxima of the Netherlands, the sovereign had to break protocol by remaining seated during the traditional evening hand-kissing.
This gesture caused a lot of concern among witnesses and also among those who were able to observe the event in photos and videos on social networks, since what caused Letizia to be unable to stand to greet the guests had nothing to do with rudeness, but with health.
It was a severe pain in her foot, caused by a “Morton’s Neuroma” that brought the spotlight to the former journalist at that moment and speculation about a possible surgery to correct the problem began to circulate in the press.
What is known about Letizia Ortiz’s Morton’s neuroma?
It was Queen Letizia herself who on October 12, 2022, during Hispanic Heritage Day, confessed to a group of journalists that she has suffered from a Morton’s neuroma in her left foot and “Chronic Metatarsalgia” for years.
According to data from the National Library of Medicine, this condition is an injury to the nerve between the toes, which causes thickening and pain. This condition commonly affects the nerve that runs between the third and fourth toes.
The exact causes of this are unknown. However, it is known that the constant use of tight shoes and high heels may be one of the reasons why this problem is triggered, which matches the profile of Her Majesty Letizia.
Regarding a possible entry into the operating room , it is known that the queen is avoiding at all costs going to this stage through preventive actions to aggravate her condition.
What precautions does Letizia Ortiz take to avoid surgery for the Morton’s neuroma she suffers from?
According to an analysis of Queen Letizia’s latest looks, experts have deduced that one of the main care measures that the queen has taken to reduce her ailments has to do with reducing the use of stilettos and narrow-toed shoes.
Instead, King Felipe’s wife has opted to make loafers and backless shoes the stars of her looks, which could prevent her from ending up in the hospital and having to undergo lengthy post-operative procedures.
