A woman in Thailand has been living with
intense pain due to her oversized hands.
Daily Mail reports that 59-year-old Duangjay
Samaksamam, from Surin Province, Thailand, has
suffered from an extremely rare and painful
affliction that leaves her limbs permanently
swollen.
She is supposedly the only person in the world to
suffer from the rare condition macrodystrophia
lipomastosa from shoulder to fingers on both
arms.
She finds it hard to perform daily tasks and she
never went to school because she was ashamed of
her looks.
Doctors have told Duangjay that the only way out
of her problem is to have her hands amputated
but she doesn't want this.
She said:
'My hands are so heavy I can barely lift them to
comb or shampoo my hair, it's very difficult.
Getting dressed is also very difficult and
painful.
'Some doctors said the only solution was to cut
off my hands if I wished to walk around freely.
But I don't want to do that.'
