Thai woman with world's biggest hands can barely lift them

SURIN: -- A woman from Thailand's Surin Province is believed to have 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.

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.

My goodness - a press article with the sensitivity not to post a picture. Good for them.

My bad opening the link in the expectation of gawping at a deformity

I feel humbled that I gripe ( inwardly to myself ) that I cannot kneel down properly because of a little arthritis in my knees.

There but for the grace of God.

I hope they find help for her somewhere.

Whats with giving weights in stone lately? Has metric dropped out of style in Thailand?

I did a conversion and her hands weigh 6,68 minahs or 668 zuzim.

Heart goes out to her, what a terrible disfigurement.

is there such a thing as hand lipo? Should work, if it is fat deposits. The poor lady looks like a lobster.

I was just thinking the same thing. Surely there must be some kind of surgery for this. It looks like it's been tried though.

About 10 years ago the headline of one of Thailand,s main newspapers detailed the existence of a thai lady who had the world,s largest p***y ! and it was on the front page for around a week !! Nothing ever surprises me here as far as the tastelessness of the thai media. Some things should really be on a need-to-know basis to avoid embarrassment to the party involved.

It is doubtful she would find your crass comments amusing.

You must be very proud.
