"Please Amputate My Size 16 Foot"
Man With Size 16 Feet Takes Step Toward Amputation
DESPERATE Jeffrey Ortega wants his size 16 foot amputated after it swelled due to a genetic condition. Both of the 26-year-old’s feet are twice the normal size and he lives in constant pain. Jeffrey was born with Proteus Syndrome, a rare condition that causes bones, skin and tissue overgrowth, and affects just a handful of people worldwide. Proteus has affected Jeffrey’s hands, hips, and legs - and he believes amputation of his left foot will relieve his pain and stop the growth.
Jeffrey, is from Florida in the United States, has been suffering from Proteus Syndrome since he was just a few months old.
