Michael Cull rarely leaves his home due to discomfort, and is often the butt of ‘Elephant Man’ jokes in the street.
The growth on the leg began after a car accident 10 years ago since then it swelled to almost twenty kilograms.
Mr Cull has been diagnosed with elephantiasis a disease often found in Third World countries. Although tests have shown no sign of the parasite which often causes it.
Cull, a retired computer technician was told he could have an operation on the leg, but later the doctor backed out.
Mr Cull said: “I have no idea how I stand legally on this. One minute I’m told I’ll get the operation, the next I’m told I won’t".
