<div>Soy Manuel Rubio N&uacute;&ntilde;ez, tengo 21 a&ntilde;os, vivo en Valencia (Espa&ntilde;a) y padezco una malformaci&oacute;n arteriovenosa que me impide andar con normalidad y permanecer de pie varias horas seguidas. Adem&aacute;s, esta enfermedad me provoca frecuentes y, en ocasiones, insoportables dolores. Actualmente, este diagn&oacute;stico no tiene cura en Espa&ntilde;a, donde los casos como el m&iacute;o suelen terminar con la amputaci&oacute;n de la extremidad afectada. Pero yo no estoy dispuesto a rendirme. S&eacute; que en otros pa&iacute;ses existen tratamientos con posibilidades reales de salvar mi pie, aunque son econ&oacute;micamente inaccesibles para m&iacute;. Por eso necesito tu ayuda, para luchar por una oportunidad y cambiar este destino.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Desde peque&ntilde;o, era un chico normal, apasionado por el f&uacute;tbol, y so&ntilde;aba con ser futbolista. Sin embargo, a los 11 a&ntilde;os mi vida cambi&oacute; dr&aacute;sticamente. Mi pie izquierdo comenz&oacute; a hincharse inexplicablemente de la noche a la ma&ntilde;ana. Los m&eacute;dicos inicialmente diagnosticaron un esguince y luego tendinitis, pero las medidas tomadas no mejoraban mi condici&oacute;n. Durante unas vacaciones en mi pueblo, Albacete, descubr&iacute; que el vendaje empeoraba el problema. Al quitarlo y sumergir el pie en agua fr&iacute;a, la hinchaz&oacute;n disminuy&oacute; temporalmente. Sin embargo, al regresar a Valencia, mi pie empeor&oacute; a&uacute;n m&aacute;s, volvi&eacute;ndose morado.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Tras m&uacute;ltiples consultas y pruebas en el hospital, finalmente me diagnosticaron una malformaci&oacute;n arteriovenosa. Aunque inicialmente me aseguraron que no deber&iacute;a empeorar y solo necesitaba adaptarme a un estilo de vida diferente, el problema persisti&oacute; y empeor&oacute;.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Con los a&ntilde;os, mi pie se deterior&oacute; significativamente, desarrollando &uacute;lceras dolorosas. A los 18 a&ntilde;os, los m&eacute;dicos descubrieron que la malformaci&oacute;n hab&iacute;a alcanzado el hueso. La &uacute;nica soluci&oacute;n que me ofrecieron fue una medicaci&oacute;n similar a la quimioterapia, sin garant&iacute;as de mejora. Al desconfiar de esta opci&oacute;n, fui derivado a un especialista en Madrid, quien me inform&oacute; que, de no operarme, perder&iacute;a el pie en poco tiempo.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Durante tres a&ntilde;os, viaj&eacute; constantemente a Madrid para someterme a varias cirug&iacute;as que parec&iacute;an mejorar mi situaci&oacute;n. Sin embargo, al retomar mis estudios en Valencia, el pie volvi&oacute; a abrirse. Las soluciones propuestas no ofrec&iacute;an garant&iacute;as y, debido a limitaciones econ&oacute;micas, no pude considerar opciones m&aacute;s costosas como un trasplante de hueso en una cl&iacute;nica privada en Navarra.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Actualmente, mi m&eacute;dico me ha dicho que mi caso no tiene cura en Espa&ntilde;a y que mi &uacute;nica opci&oacute;n podr&iacute;a ser la amputaci&oacute;n. Sin embargo, tras investigar y contactar a especialistas, s&eacute; que en pa&iacute;ses como Alemania y Estados Unidos hay tratamientos avanzados con casos de &eacute;xito. El problema es que estos tratamientos son econ&oacute;micamente inaccesibles para m&iacute; y mi familia.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Mi situaci&oacute;n personal tambi&eacute;n es complicada. Estoy completando mis estudios de Formaci&oacute;n Profesional mientras vivo con un familiar que asume mis gastos, ya que mi madre, que es soltera, est&aacute; desempleada y cuida de otro familiar dependiente. Esta situaci&oacute;n ha afectado mi desarrollo profesional y limita enormemente mi d&iacute;a a d&iacute;a, ya que requiero m&uacute;ltiples curas diarias y sufro dolores constantes.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Por ello, hemos decidido contar mi historia en redes sociales y lanzar una recaudaci&oacute;n de fondos. Quiero consultar con especialistas internacionales que puedan ofrecerme una oportunidad real de salvar mi pie. Cualquier ayuda ser&aacute; profundamente agradecida.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Voy a documentar todo mi proceso a trav&eacute;s de las redes sociales, mostrando cada paso del camino y adjuntando el seguimiento m&eacute;dico.

<div>I am Manuel Rubio N&uacute;&ntilde;ez, 21 years old, living in Valencia, Spain. I suffer from an arteriovenous malformation that prevents me from walking normally or standing for extended periods. Additionally, this condition causes frequent and, at times, unbearable pain. Currently, there is no cure for this diagnosis in Spain, where cases like mine often end in the amputation of the affected limb. But I refuse to give up. I know that in other countries, there are treatments with real possibilities of saving my foot, though they are financially inaccessible for me. This is why I need your help&mdash;to fight for a chance and chan
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As a child, I was a normal boy, passionate about soccer, and dreamed of becoming a professional player. However, my life changed drastically at age 11. My left foot started swelling inexplicably overnight. Doctors initially diagnosed it as a sprain and later as tendinitis, but the prescribed treatments didn&rsquo;t improve my condition. During a vacation in my hometown, Albacete, I discovered that the bandage worsened the issue. Removing it and immersing my foot in cold water temporarily reduced the swelling. However, when I returned to Valencia, my foot worsened further, turning purple.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After multiple consultations and hospital tests, I was finally diagnosed with an arteriovenous malformation. Initially, I was assured it wouldn&rsquo;t worsen, and I just needed to adapt to a different lifestyle,
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Over the years, my foot deteriorated significantly, developing painful ulcers. At 18, doctors discovered that the malformation had reached the bone. The only solution they offered was a medication similar to chemotherapy, with no guarantee of improvement. Skeptical of this option, I was referred to a specialist in Madrid who informed me that without surgery, I would lose my foot soon.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For three years, I traveled constantly to Madrid for several surgeries that seemed to improve my situation. However, when I resumed my studies in Valencia, my foot reopened. The proposed solutions offered no guarantees, and due to financial limitations, I couldn&rsquo;t consider more expensive options like a bone transplant at a private clinic in Navarra.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Currently, my doctor has told me that my case has no cure in Spain and that amputation might be my only option. However, after researching and contacting specialists, I&rsquo;ve learned that advanced treatments with successful outcomes exist in countries like Germany and the United States. The challenge is that these treatments are financially unattainable for me and my family.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My personal situation is also challenging. I am completing my vocational training while living with a relative who covers my expenses, as my mother, a single parent, is unemployed and cares for another dependent family member. This situation has affected my professional development and greatly limits my daily life, as I require multiple daily wound dressings and endure constant pain.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For this reason, we have decided to share my story on social media and launch a fundraising campaign. I want to consult international specialists who can offer a real chance to save my foot. Any help would be deeply appreciated.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will document my entire journey on social media, showing every step of the process and including medical updates.
