Hello,
The stiff tongue with difficulty in eating and speaking may be of concern with the hypertrophy of tongue or other oral structures. A clinical examination with or without MRI mouth can be of paramount importance in this regard for the putative diagnosis and guidelines of cure.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
