Woman With World's Biggest Hands can Barely Lift Them

Media reports say a woman from Thailand's Surin Province has the world's biggest hands that weigh half a stone each.

Duangjay Samaksamam suffers from Macrodystrophia Lipomastosa, a problem which causes enormous amounts of fat deposits to be distributed across her arms and hands, the Daily Star reported.

Most parents when told that their child has arthritis find it hard to believe it, as arthritis is regarded an adult's disease.

Samaksamam asserted that it was very difficult as she could barely lift her hands to comb or shampoo her hair.

The 59-year-old Samaksamam said that some doctors said that the only solution was to cut off her hands if she wished to walk around freely but she did not want to do that.

Samaksamam, who now lives with her sister and her niece, said that during the surgery the doctors didn't remove any tissue, just opened her arm to check it.
