Hello
It seems from the history that your partner has underwent surgery for pituitary gland tumor 8 years ago and now he is having symptoms of headache, dizziness and joint pains.
These symptoms can be because of recurrence of the tumour. Hence he requires evaluation by a neurologist or neurosurgeon for examination to rule out recurrence of the tumour.
