How is Oedipus physically challenged?

Answer:
Lameness is what makes Theban King Oedipus physically challenged. A rod is driven through his ankles when he's only three days old. It's removed. But he's left with swollen feet and an atypical gait. In fact, the problem is reflected in his very name, which refers to his swollen feet.
