Kid's Muscles Turn to Bone
 
The boy whose muscles are turning to bone - TODAY Health

scary stuff.

Quote:

an extremely rare genetic condition called fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, or FOP. There are only about 700 confirmed cases worldwide — about one in every 2 million births. The condition, which causes bone to form from soft tissue, ultimately confines its victims to permanent immobility before taking their lives, usually by the victims’ 40s.
but for some reason when i read this, i was thinking about Wolverine from X Men lol

exitspeed 10-15-2009 12:30 PM

That is just insane to think of. Poor kid.

HyperTek 10-15-2009 12:43 PM

yeah i feel sorry for the kid, he wont live a normal life =(

innovation 10-15-2009 01:07 PM

Poor little guy. Life's going to be hard on him, he's going to experience it in a way none of us can imagine. The things we take for granted (Ability to play sports) hell, being recreational is a risk that can be his undoing.

tricky_ab 10-15-2009 02:16 PM

I was reading about this earlier... I don't think I can imagine a worse way to live... and die.
That's such a sad situation, and I'm feeling for them (I don't even know them). Can't imagine what the parents have to be going though.

DALAZ_68 10-15-2009 02:19 PM

this is the kind of death that should plauge the lowlives of this world..not a innocent kid

Drift N Dragg 10-15-2009 02:22 PM

wow that sucks, I feel for him and his parents. Makes you think about all the things you complain about and how he wont even have that chance and I bet he wouldnt complain, he would be happy just to experience it...

Matej 10-15-2009 02:42 PM

Seems like an extreme case of a somewhat ordinary happening. Because during broken bones and what not, bruised muscle sometimes forms light bony fragments.

chrisa 10-15-2009 03:40 PM

Wow, it will even fuse his jaw shut...this is terrible.

ravinaziankid 10-15-2009 04:40 PM

Wow man thats sucks he has to live like that.

ryguy 10-15-2009 10:36 PM

Man, thats sad, but its awesome that the parents aren't sheltering him. I think its right of them to let him live his life.

kingkilburn 10-16-2009 02:10 PM

What kind of response is that Mike?

1ZlowZ 10-16-2009 02:24 PM

He should work out and build some muscle so he can have strong bones and big muscles. Though the muscles repairing themselves after the workout might turn to bone. :/

brndck 10-16-2009 02:34 PM

i had a ghost rider comic book when i was like 12 and the villain could turn your flesh to bone by touching you and it freaked me the fuck out then. i REALLY would've freaked if i thought it was a REAL condition.

poor kid.
