A young man who was brought into this world with four legs has used social media to appeal for doctors to amputate his two extra limbs.
22 year old Arun Kumar, was born with two extra legs growing from his lower back, one underdeveloped and the other permanently bent at the knee.
Arun, who lives in Uttar Pradesh, India, appealed through social media for medical help to remove his extra legs.
A team of specialists at Fortis Hospital in Delhi responded to Arun’s plea for help and organised a series of tests to find out how the legs are attached and if he can be treated.
Arun said:
“If I get an operation and doctors take off my two extra legs, then I can also live a normal life. I may be able to move and walk properly like others. If they are willing to do an operation, then I’m ready.”
Although he cannot move his extra legs, he does have feeling in them and carrying the weight on his back is damaging his posture and ability to walk.
Arun’s mother Kokila Devi said:
‘During childbirth he got stuck and didn’t come out without pain. And when he came out, all his limbs were the same size.’
Doctors at various hospitals deemed Arun’s extra legs too risky to operate on when he was a baby.
He refused the offer given by the doctors. I watched this program on TLC.
wait ooooo, as in doctors wanted to remove it and he refused or what?… Hmmmmm wonder shal neva end.
Yes, he was afraid that he was going to die.
Yes you did
FOUR LEGS OR TAIL. hmmmm
May God help him
Eya, I feel for him. He is suffering from Polymelia. A congenital anomaly, which is defined as the presence of accessory limbs attached to various body regions and could be classified as cephalomelia (extra-limb attached to the head), notomelia (extra-limb attached to the back bone), thoracomelia (extra-limb attached to the thorax), and pyromelia (extra-limb attached to the pelvis). These anomalies are usually associated with genetic factors including tamogenes, chromosomes, and environmental agents.
I hope they come to his aid!
