Hello!
You would need physiotherapy and also proper diet containing vitamins (vitamin B12 and folic acid) for nerve weakness.

Hello!
You would need nerve conduction tests and also MRI to diagnose any soft tissue and nerve problems.
As it a problem since birth let the test results come and then the orthopedician will suggest if physiotherapy will help.
If required follow up with a neurologist also.
