They were not simply tall; they had acromegaly
Growth hormone issues are not exactly common and can take a long time to diagnose correctly. After all, being too tall or too short is not an apparent medical condition, is it? For this family, it was.
If everyone you share blood with is around 5’5″ in height, then you being a full inch taller might be cause for concern. Regardless, swelling in the hands is a frequent symptom of acromegalia. Good for their dad’s doctor for catching that detail.
