Queen Letizia, undergoing surgery for her broken toe: “I have to have surgery”

The queen’s injury has been complicated. It was on May 6 when Doña Letizia revealed that she had suffered a domestic accident, a blow against the leg of a table, due to which she had fractured a toe on her right foot: “That will be cured in no time”, he then said optimistically. But the fracture does not heal and this Tuesday she herself revealed that she will have to undergo surgery to resolve the problem: “They have to operate on me.”

A confession that Belén Esteban herself has shared, with which the royal consort coincided this morning at the solidarity event that took place in the Financial City of Banco Santander, chaired by Ana Patricia Botín. The town’s princess has met Doña Letizia again after meeting her on the newspaper’s anniversary The reason and he greeted her with self-confidence: “I respected my turn to take the photo. When I saw her with the shirts, we kissed twice, I asked her how her foot is and she told me: ‘I have to have surgery,'” recounted in Not that we were shhh.

Doña Letizia is going through a difficult period. Shortly before breaking the toe on her right foot, she had already expressed serious discomfort in her left foot precisely due to a problem that she has had for years: a Norton neuroma. She was diagnosed in 2022 and consists of a thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves in the toes that can cause sharp pain with burning, even numbness of the affected toes. It affects women more than men and is linked, above all, to the excessive use of heels.

Among the solutions are rest or comfortable shoes, like the one that Felipe VI’s wife has been wearing for weeks: flat and with a wide fit, respectful of the anatomy of the foot.
