Photos: 38 y.o Nigerian-American, Ada Thompson with gigantic leg is open to dating

A woman who has battled with a giant right leg her entire life refuses to let her condition stop her dancing.

Ada Thompson, of Tyler, Texas, was born with lymphoedema, which causes the body's tissues to swell. Miss Thompson even had to wear extra-large nappies as a baby when her leg became too large for regular diapers. Now 38, Miss Thompson is unable to work, cannot wear trousers and only leaves her apartment a few times a week. But despite everything, she refuses to let her condition dampen her spirit and can often be found dancing around her living room with the music turned up loud. Miss Thompson - who weighs 460lbs (32st 12lbs) - also blames her condition for her obese frame. Now armed with more confidence, Miss Thompson is open to meeting someone this year.
