Could you describe what you are seeing in more detail? I'm not quite getting a picture of "not using the front legs".
Is he eating in his enclosure? Signs of impaction are usually straining to defecate and regurgitation of food.
A more common problem with young growing lizards is calcium deficiency. Their diet is not in proper Ca:P (calcium hosphorous) proportion because they eat a lot of pinkie mice, insects, eggs, and ground turkey. Perhaps he needs more supplementation with Vit D or a different arrangement with the UV bulb. Proper temps are essential for metabolism of these nutrients as well.
Just some thoughts....
