Proteus Syndrome

I watched this show on TLC last night about Proteus Syndrome. I never heard of this or seen anything like it. This woman has legs that do not stop growing. They are now each 100lb and its hard for her to get around. She might have to get them amputated but the problem with that is the stumps left would be so large that prosthetics wouldn't fit. Her feet are absolutely huge. I would say one was as long as from your knee to your ankle. She has to get these special shoes made so she can walk.
