Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what your dad is going through. to be honest, making a diagnosis in him require a thorough physical exam as he has dementia. This could be just pain or represent something more. For now, I will suggest that you give him Tylenol as recommended by his pharmacist. If the pains do not resolve, get hi for evaluation and management at a nearby hospital.

I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
