Woman’s hand grows to size of FOOTBALL

This woman was born with  a rare medical condition which saw her hand swell to the size of a FOOTBALL.
Afroza Begum was born with the deformity – and now lives in constant pain due to blisters.
She said: “I’ve had this ever since birth, I was born with the condition.
“I think I had it even when I was in my mother’s womb.
“It was small but eventually it started growing. Now the blisters grow on my hand and they itch badly – but it never hurts.”
The right hand swelled up so rapidly, she couldn’t afford treatment.
Now Afroza, from Bangladesh, has been referred to a plastic surgeon – but desperately needs help paying for treatment.
“I want to get treatment but it is beyond my capacity,” she said.
“The blisters are only growing bigger and now they bother me.”
Despite the condition, she manages to complete everyday chores with just one hand – including cleaning, and sweeping.
