Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Recurrent strokes result in disability, with poor chances of good recovery. At this stage, he would require good physiotherapy and rehabilitation program. The role of medicines is to prevent the next stroke.

You should ask the doctor regarding the extent of brain damage and areas to focus during rehabilitation program.

Please get back if you require any additional information.



Best wishes,
