Rafael Nadal Life Drama | He suffers from a rare disease | The real reason for his withdrawal from the US Open has been revealed

Nadal reminded that this is an injury that he has suffered since 2005, but he also indicated that he is motivated and ready to do everything.

Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal announced yesterday that he decided to end the season due to the foot problem that has been bothering him for a year.

“Unfortunately, I have to finish the 2021 season,” Nadal wrote on his Twitter account. “Honestly, I’ve been struggling with my leg more than I should for a year now and I need time … to find a solution to this problem or at least fix it so I can play for the next few years.”

Nadal said that after talking with his team and family, he made the decision to devote himself to recovery.

“During this year, I missed things that are very important to me, like Wimbledon, the Olympics and now the US Open ,” Nadal said .

A rare disease

He recently revealed that he was in the same pain as he was in 2005 when he was diagnosed with the rare disease Müller-Weiss syndrome, a diagnosis that nearly forced him to quit professional tennis and which in recent years has affected other parts of his body. . The famous tennis magazine Puntodebreak also writes about this .

Nadal has had foot problems since early childhood, and professional sports and hard training have caused the pain to spread to other parts of the body. So his knee problems are just a consequence of this disease.

It is difficult to detect this disease in the early stages. Doctors only become sure when she progresses. The pain occurs in the middle and back of the foot, these parts swell, and the pain then travels up through the ankle to the knee. When the patient walks or runs, the situation worsens.

Unfortunately, the older he gets, the more problems he will have with this disease, as its symptoms are most apparent in later life. His movement on the field will become slower and more difficult as time goes on.
