A Bangladeshi known as the 'Tree Man' because of bark-like growths on his body said Monday he wanted his hands amputated to relieve him of unbearable pain.

Abul Bajandar has had 25 operations since 2016 to remove growths from his hands and feet caused by a rare syndrome. DHAKA, Bangladesh - A Bangladeshi known as the "Tree Man" because of bark-like growths on his body said Monday he wanted his hands amputated to relieve him of unbearable pain.

Doctors had believed they had beaten the disease but Bajandar fled a Dhaka clinic in May last year following a relapse. "I cannot bear the pain anymore. I can't sleep at night. I asked the doctors to cut off my hands so I can at least get some relief," he told AFP. Bajandar said he wanted to go abroad for better treatment, but he does not have the money to cover the expenses.
