Dear Friend. Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern. Thalamic stroke can lead to a syndrome called as Dejerine–Roussy syndrome or thalamic pain syndrome which develops after a thalamic stroke. The lesions, usually present in one hemisphere of the brain, most often cause an initial lack of sensation and tingling in the opposite side of the body. Weeks to months later, numbness can develop into severe and chronic pain. This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask me through Premium Query directed on my name. I will help you my best. Stay Healthy. Dr Anshul Varshney , MD
