What Causes Numbness In The Arms And Legs?

So my brother had an MRI on his back this morning and just got a call from the neurologist that they want to meet with him tomorrow. He has had some issues with numbness in arms and legs. Also has been having trouble controlling his bladder. He even has trouble not dropping a plate. It will just drop out of his hand. He s had symptoms a couple months but this last month has been more frequent. He does complain about pain and pressure behind his left eye. I m going with him tomorrow so I just want to prepare myself and be strong for him. He s really scared. He s 39 years old. White, weighs 170 and about 6 tall. Any feedback would be great. Thank you
