A woman with an incredibly long toe left a doctor shocked as he admitted he's never seen a patient with 'this long of a big toe'.

Anna Tantillo appeared on TLC's My Feet Are Killing Me where she told foot and ankle surgeon Doctor Brad Schaeffer it 'hurts really bad' and that she felt he was her 'last option' to get her toes sorted.

Dr Schaeffer explained that her extra-long digit is likely to cause all sorts of problems later down the line.

He said: "When you have a foot where your toe is, like, double the size that jamming in a shoe, every step you take - that's going to cause arthritis, that's going to create jamming of the joints, and it's going to cause pain every step."

After taking a look at Anna's toe, Dr Schaeffer says: "That is definitely something.

"Her toe kind of pops right out at you...

"I've personally never seen a patient that has this long of a big toe.

"It's extremely rare."

A clip from the show, which aired earlier this year, recently resurfaced on TikTok where users were in disbelief at Anna's massive metatarsal.

But Anna is not alone in having an extra-long appendage - last month, a teen went viral on TikTok after she showed off her huge middle finger.

Olivia Mercea, 16, from Arizona, decided to own the fact that she has a longer middle finger, sharing her hilarious video with the caption: "Sorry you had to see it."


In the video, she can be seen smiling, with the text: "Me thinking about the time my five inch finger went viral."

At the very end, she blows a kiss, as the video says: "My toes are worse."

Speaking to LADbible, Olivia, an aspiring model, said: "I would say I realised it was longer than usual a couple of years ago.

"At first, it was an insecurity, but then I realised it was actually pretty funny and something that would always bring out laughs."

Her super-long finger has now been viewed millions of times, with Olivia shocked by how much attention it's received.

"The reaction to my TikTok has been insane," she said. "I never thought that it would reach the level that it has."
