Hello,
His symptoms could be related to a peripheral nervous system disease. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam. Performing nerve conduction studies may be needed. I would also recommend checking some blood lab tests:
- Complete blood count
- Vitamin D and vitamin B12 plasma levels for possible deficiency
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
