  • 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

.
