"Sometimes I wonder why God has given me such a dreadful condition," he told cameras.

To paint a picture, Abul has massive branch-like structures encasing his hands and feet. Without proper treatment, his disease would only spread.

"It makes me uncomfortable that I cannot stand or sit in one place. It just drives me crazy," he said.

You can hear more of Abul's story in the video above.

Nicknamed 'Tree Man', Abul lives with an extremely rare condition known as epidermodysplasia verruciformis, which causes HPV to grow uncontrollably and leads to the development of warts resembling tree bark.

The debilitating disease meant Abul couldn't work, feed himself or even visit the toilet alone.

"I feel awful about my fate," said the young man from Bangladesh.

"People suffer from different illnesses, they get well or they die. That's the end of their suffering," he said.

Abul is married, and has a three-year-old daughter. He hopes to one day provide for his family, let alone use his hands for the first time in five years.

"My own hands and legs are a burden," he said.

For the first time doctors hoped to perform a life changing surgery by removing Abul's growths and separate two or three fingers.

His doctor, Dr Samanta Lal Sen, said he had never seen a patient like Abul. But their research, not long ago, revealed a similar case in Indonesia.

In fact, the disease is so rare, it had only been seen before four times worldwide at the time of filming.

Abul was told that surgery was the only option to remove his excessive growths. But stepping into the unknown, the surgery had its risks.

Head of plastic surgery, Prof Abul Kalam, was also concerned about Abul's overall fitness for surgery. Mainly his " chronic malnutrition."
