Lol yes i realize he's not paralyzed. Not having feeling in a body part doesn't mean you can't use it. I don't have feeling in my right leg but I still walk. My cousin just had his leg from the knee down amputated because he had no feeling in it and his foot kept getting foot rot from diabetes and getting infected. So after 10 years of dealing with it he had it amputated, but he walked for that 10 years.
My point was, if he's had issues with feeling, or numbness for you, he's not been lifting heavy and like he normally would. And going into week 12 still having issues with "numbness" I can't see him coming back any time this year.
