General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The cause for loss of foot control could be due to some lesion in his cerebellum and not due to previous history of surgery he has undergone.
He needs to undergo detailed neurological examination along with certain investigations to diagnose what could be the cause for it, so that it can be treated accordingly.
Kindly consult Neurologist for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran.S.,
