Hello,

He should get further evaluated. Taking count that he had Morton's neuroma before he may need to do an MRI of spine to get checked. Also, he may have been affected from carpal tunnel syndrome and this needs to be differentiated.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
