Hello
Yes, that is a cause for concern. Should report this to his caring doctor. Immediate investigations are required to determine the right diagnosis.
I think it might be related to back problem he has been recently experiencing. However needs further investigation.
Please discuss this with his caring doctor as soon as possible.
Wish fast recovery.
