hi
Thanks for choosing HCM
Loss of bowel and bladder control, numbness in legs and memory loss, all this started suddenly or was it there from a very long time and now its increased?
I would advise you to get an MRI brain and spine. Did he have a fall? Arm pain could be due to periarthritis. Hot compresses and pain killers can help. Get a neurologist opinion after the MRI scans. Hope this helps you
Take care
