Osteoporosis, or “brittle bone disease,” makes him so fragile that a minor fall or other stresses can cause bones to fracture.
An Indian boy is being described as “made of glass” due to a rare condition in which his bones break at the slightest touch.
Due to his porcelain-esque skeletal structure, the boy has reportedly broken 100 bones during his lifetime and is in constant pain for most of the day. In addition, Rohit’s osteoporosis has severely stunted his growth to the point that he stands 1-foot, 4-inches tall and weighs about 32 pounds.
