HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It may be best to see a neurologist for a thorough assessment which would include a neurological physical examination as well as tests.
There are some tests such as nerve conduction tests that would only be done by a neurologists. These would help to determine how well the nerves are working.
Imaging would also likely be necessary. Eg CT or MRI
I hope this helps
