Mahogany Geter, 24, was born with lymphedema, a chronic condition that has caused her left leg to swell to 100 pounds — but it hasn’t stopped her yet.
Contrary to all expectations, a rare condition has given one courageous woman a leg-up in life.
Though Geter’s lymphedema has affected the entire left side of her body, it’s her leg that is most, it’s her leg that bears the brunt of the condition., also leaves her at a higher risk of developing fibrosis, a painful and debilitating thickening or scarring of tissue. She’s been on the receiving end of a lot of stares and unkind remarks, especially throughout her childhood.
Many doctors suggested surgery, but in more severe cases the surgery didn’t get rid of the swelling completely, so she turned down the offer every time.
