A MAN born with ‘boomerang arms’ says he wouldn’t get surgery to change them as his condition makes him who he is. 26-year-old Ryan from Haltom City, Texas was born with arthrogryposis - a condition which halts the development of the joints in the arms and legs, leaving them ‘fused’. In Ryan’s case, it has caused limited mobility in his elbows, fingers and legs. Despite his condition, Ryan lives alone and is capable of doing most things by himself. Ryan began making videos on TikTok, and despite most comments being positive - he has received some negativity. He said: “There are people that say some rude things. ‘You have boomerang arms' or 'You look like someone that died and came back'. I don’t let anything get me down, I don’t make any excuses. A question that I get asked a lot is ‘If you could have surgery to fix it, would you?’ And I’m like ‘No, I don’t think so, because it makes me who I am’."
