Hello
My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!
His symptoms are suggestive of a chronic damage of the spine. I recommend performing a thoraco-lumbar spine MRI study to investigate for possible compression or damage to the spinal cord or nerves. I would be glad to review his MRI report for a more professional opinion.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes!
