Chronic Constipation, Pain, Stiffness, Numbness In Stomach, Back, Ribs, Burning, Itching. Advice?

My fiance has been experiencing chronic constipation, extreme pain, stiffness, and some numbness through his stomach, back, sides, ribs, and into his arms and legs; burning and itching sensation as well. He has muscle weakness and has been unable to do basic workouts because of the stiffness and pain. This has been going on for almost 5 months now. Any thoughts of what might cause such symptoms?

Drink more liquids like water,buttermilk,fruit juices,vegetable soups.
Eat more fiber diet,salads and sprouts.
Avoid oily,spicy,out side food.
Avoid stress and go for exercise regularly.
Take isabgool to relieve constipation,There is no harm to take it regularly.
Muscle weakness is most likely due to b12 and other vitamin deficiency.
