Arun Rajasingh's right leg is the worst affected and weighs 100kg - the same weight as a newborn elephant and heavier than the combined weight of the rest of his body.

His condition is yet to be diagnosed and the 34-year-old is now desperate to find a cure.
"Doctors are still researching about my condition and they have not found a cure yet,” he told The Sun.
"I get emotional and feel disheartened sometimes but I haven't lost hope at all."

The Chennai man has suffered from the condition since birth, when doctors told his mother that her newborn son would have only three weeks to live.
Proving doctors wrong, Arun went on to live a mostly normal life until his legs grew so heavy he was constrained to a wheelchair.

Determined not to let his disability control his life, Arun enrolled in a college 800 kilometres away from his home and graduated with a degree in engineering studies.
He is now starting up his own IT company, operating from his home.
"Now I’m picking up my business after all the physical and mental stress and challenges I have faced,” he told Press TV.
“And now all I need is I need to go out and have some fresh air and socialize with people.”
After leaving Indian doctors puzzled by his illness, Arun is now seeking help from medical practitioners around the world.
“I have reached a stage where I need to find a solution to this condition. I am hopeful that someone somewhere will have a solution for me and I am looking forward to it.”
