Hello,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Thank you for providing the brief history.
What I can understand with the history is your dad may have either of possible problems - periarthritis of the shoulder or RCI.
I will advice to use icing if your dad isn't diabetic. If he is diabetic then use hot water fermentation.
Having sessions with guided physical therapy should help reduce pain, regain strength, improve the ROM.
It is definitely not a stroke or heart attack. be assured.
Regards
