The big eyeball lives in a rare condition called lymphedema, one leg being twice as big as the other.
Also, enlarged objects can leak if they have small scratches.
The big man first noticed this at age 13 when a friend said during a track session that one of his thighs “looked big.”
The kidnapped athlete went to the doctor and was told that he was probably swollen from exercise.
A 19-year-old law and criminology student explains:
“He was always busy with sports, so I thought he just had swollen muscles.”

But when his leg hurt, the big guy realized it was something more.
And in July 2016, after a year on the appointment, Diddy was finally told he had lymphedema after visiting a consultant at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.
The doctors also explained that there are currently no surgery or treatment options specific to her type of lymphedema.
As a result, wear high compression stockings and raise your legs to reduce swelling.
Big from Essex said:
“If I didn’t treat or deal with the situation, it would be even worse.
“Now it’s 1.5 times the size of his other leg. It can shrink when you drive, but it’s not the same size as your other legs.”
Big says his “tree branch legs” used to laugh at him as a teenager and make harsh comments and questions about the clothes he wore, but he has since curled up his big legs. I learned.
He adds: “When I was 15, it was difficult because I was confident that my legs were straight.
But when I was 18, I was so overwhelmed that I couldn’t turn around and I wasn’t going anywhere, so I felt bad. I chose to hug here and there, and now I am much more confident.
A woman on the street stopped me and told me to pray. People often stop and look at my feet; some come straight to me and ask how hard it is.
“It was quite hard and I was worried when I was little, but now I’m not sure and I think I need education. Instead of getting mad, I explain that I have a medical condition.
Despite some setbacks, such as extreme fatigue and water leaking from his big legs, Big now classifies himself as a Para-athlete and dreams of becoming a Paralympic athlete in the future.
“After being diagnosed, I was very tired and the swelling in my leg was so painful that it was very difficult to enter the competition,” he continues.
The coach did not accept me because I was at high risk of injury and did not want to take responsibility.
It was a tough time, so I had to stop running on the track and brush up on the hammer throw, so it wouldn’t affect my foot too much.
But athletics was my passion and I didn’t want my condition to control my life. I just approach things and do my best not to define myself with it.
“I’m in the process of becoming a para-athlete. It was great to be back with what I love.
“Participating in the Paralympic Games is a dream come true, but above all I want to use my story to help people who suffer from health and self-confidence.”
