Foot Disease of the Spanish Queen affects 150,000 people annually in Brazil


Women are most affected by Morton’s neuroma and many are unable to wear high heels.

Letizia from Spain is considered one of the most elegant women in Europe.

At 1.70m tall, she always wore high heels, so she wouldn’t be much shorter than her husband, King Felipe VI, who is nearly 2m tall.

The almost daily habit caused intense pain in the queen’s feet. After a medical investigation, she was diagnosed with Morton’s neuroma.

It is a disease that causes thickening of the tissues around the nerves located in the 3rd and 4th metatarsus of the feet.

The appearance of a lump generates increased sensitivity, discomfort and pain. Burning and swelling are also part of the symptoms.

Among the treatments are the use of analgesics and anti-inflammatories, physiotherapy, ice packs, the use of flat shoes, and more time to rest the feet. More severe cases require surgery.

Queen Letizia has been used to high heels ever since she was a TV news host, before meeting then Prince Felipe. Now you will need to wear flat shoes and sneakers.

In recent weeks she has been seen without the traditional décolleté of her everyday look. Photographers caught her wearing loafers, sneakers and ballet flats. Fashion icon, the Spanish queen must launch fashion.
