48 hours after winning the Roland Garros, Rafael Nadal is conscious as he uses crutches to walk, following a foot injury from which he has been suffering since 2005, when he was diagnosed with Muller Weiss Syndrome.
It is a chronic degenerative syndrome that can attack both legs, but in the case of the Spaniard it is only the left one.
The bull from Mallorca was documented after receiving treatment to prevent the intense pain he was suffering from, which mainly consists of giving radiotherapy injections to neutralize the nerves in the leg.
As you may recall, at the end of the Roland Gross final Nadal said he had received anesthetic shots on foot and barely felt it throughout the game, but has now decided to turn to a long-term solution.
It is absolutely incredible that this, that it is very happy, has been three days since the final of Roland Garros passed.

In an interview with the Spanish media, the tennis player said: "I can not play with my foot asleep. I want to continue competing so I made a decision together with my professional team to consult with a number of experts to see what options I have.
He went on to describe his feelings towards the start of treatment: "If we were not optimistic we would not do it. The clear goal: to use this treatment to permanently create the feeling I have when I play with my leg asleep. If it works, and it will leave me a little nervous, It will take some sensitivity off my feet and I will be able to continue playing. "
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
