Watch | Chennai man’s leg swells to over 100 kg and there’s no cure

Updated on Feb 22, 2016 11:46 am IST

A Chennai-based man whose legs have swelled to five times their normal size and weigh the same as a baby elephant is seeking help from doctors. Arun Rajasingh has been suffering from a rare genetic disorder since birth, which led to the abnormal growth. Doctors have been left puzzled by the condition, and its rapid growth. Even after regular physiotherapy and medication to reduce the pain in his legs, no cure has yet been found. But, Arun hasn't let the disability get to him. He has obtained a degree in engineering and is now trying to set up his own software company.
