Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
THis is not likely to be TIA in this age but some other progressive neurologic disorders should be considered so extensive neurologic work up should be done including electrmiography and MRi scan. Second cause may be diabetic neuropathy as well if there is unregulated blood sugar. Adenoma is not likely to cause this.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
