26 year old Jeffrey Ortega wants his size 16 foot amputated after it swelled due to a genetic condition which leaves him in constant pain and unable to walk. Jeffery, who relies on a wheelchair to move around, was born with Proteus Syndrome, a rare condition that causes bones, skin and tissue overgrowth. The condition has also affected his hands, hips and legs.
Jeffrey is now begging doctors to amputate his left foot to relieve pain and stop the growth. His left foot is 17inches in circumference & 14inches long while his right foot is 14.5 inches in circumference and 12 inches long.
