Extra Large Wang Can't Fit Into Pants

[dgridley]

A DESPERATE young Chinese woman with a rare condition which has caused her legs to deform and treble in size is dreaming of a normal life after upcoming surgery in Taiwan.

Wang Cheng, 24, cannot work or even wear trousers because of the grotesque and painful elephantiasis which has dogged her since the age of six and left her with legs weighing 50 kilos.

"I cannot go out to work," Ms Wang told AFP as she slowly raised herself to sitting in her bed at Taipei Municipal Wan Fang Hospital.

"Nor can I wear trousers as normal people (do)."

My neighbor has really huge legs and tiny feet tho she suffers from overall obesity.. the condition is terrible with red, scaly skin.

That sure is a strange disease. I've seen images that make me feel very sorry for these people.

It's a dread disease and certainly makes one appreciate how much better off they are than some. Luckily there is some hope for her and I hope things turn out ok.

I seriously feel really sorry for anyone that has that type of disease. It's really hard to imagine what a burden it must be to life with. Also dgridley, the topic title is really really misleading lol
