Additionally, he experiences fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity, widespread and intense pain, digestive difficulties, muscle atrophy, extreme weight loss, frequent nosebleeds, and severe muscle and bone cramps. Abdurrahmanoğlu struggles to stand on his own and can only manage daily life with the assistance of others.
