Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It is good to note that your father is doing well after stroke. It is important to keep his BP under control and use blood thinner medications such as aspirin to prevent stroke recurrence.
His pain is possibly neuropathic pain. In this case, medications that would help are pregabalin or gabapentin.
Please get him checked up by a neurologist.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
