Mandy Sellars - The Woman With Giant Legs
Monday, November 10, 2008
Mandy Sellars has been tagged The Woman With The Giant Legs.Doctors can’t tell why Mandy Sellars' legs keep enlarging – all they say is that her only choice is a drastic amputation.
It’s not easy being Mandy Sellars. She has enormously oversized legs that make having a normal life nearly impossible.
People gaze whenever she leaves the house, she needs a especial car to get around and can’t work full time.
But the optimistic 33-year-old from Accrington, Lancs, just won’t be told. She’s challenged medics’ verdict and has just got back from America where she went to find a new treatment.
Mandy Sellars' left leg is five inches longer than her right and has a talipes, which has turned 180 degrees rearwards. She says: “I weigh about 20 stone – 15 of which are my legs.”
Mandy Sellars now has a UK doctor who is wishing to search for the evasive diagnosis.
Geneticist Dr Susan Huson, from St Mary’s Hospital, Manchester, is fixed to identify Mandy’s condition.
While amputation is inevitable and Mandy Sellars still faces the biggest dilemma of her life, she’s pleased that some day there may well be a condition in the medical books named after her.

I've been browsing online greater than 3 hours lately, yet I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It's beautiful worth enough for me.
