Catheterization Kiko Rivera gives the last report on his condition after undergoing heart surgery
Sevilla Kiko Rivera, admitted urgently to the hospital after suffering a stroke: he had dinner normally and is stable
Kiko Rivera
is immersed in a new stage of his life full of changes. This Friday, February 9,
he turns 40
and has just revealed the
new setback
that he is suffering, and that has to do with his
health
.
It was himself, through a statement on his social networks, where he announced that
he suffers severe pain in his knees
and that even last week he had to cancel a gig in A Coruña for this reason.
"My health doesn't allow it,
my knees are screwed," he commented.
Isabel Pantoja's son knows what the problem is and he also knows what the solution is. Kiko has been
diagnosed with osteonecrosis
, also called
bone infarction
, which is a condition in which there is a temporary or permanent loss of
blood supply to the bones
of the knee. This can lead to the death of bone tissue and eventually degeneration of the joint.
Symptoms of osteonecrosis of the knee may include
joint pain,
swelling, stiffness, and difficulty moving the knee. Treatment may
vary depending on the severity
of the condition. In less severe cases, conservative measures such as
rest, physical therapy
, and the use of supportive devices
can be used .
In more advanced cases, surgical procedures may be necessary.
But, as Kiko himself has commented, in his case
it will not be necessary to undergo surgery,
since, for the moment, only analgesic treatment will be necessary.
It seems that the DJ
is not in his best physical moment.
Even so, he has assured that, although he is no longer in the focus of the news and is away from television, he continues with
projects related to music
and social networks.
More health problems
In addition to his recent knee diagnosis, Kiko Rivera is also worried about
other health problems,
which have been coming to light over the last few years.
In 2011, while competing on
Survivors
, he had to leave the competition due to a problem with
gout
, a health disorder that occurs when
uric acid crystals
accumulate in the joints, causing inflammation and pain.
In 2022 he suffered a
stroke
when he was at home in the town of Castilleja de la Cuesta, in Seville, for which he had to be
admitted
to the ICU for several days. A few months later, in 2023, he suffered
renal colic
, and that same summer, he had to undergo a
catheterization
for heart problems. In addition, Paquirri's son also confessed that he has
diabetes
.
