What Is The Treatment For Stroke?

Respected Sir, Last year in the month of Jun 2014 my father suffered a stroke, due to which he got numbness in left side of the body. we are regularly medicating him but the numbness is still same. Though he is able to do all his daily works without any help, but he is feeling nervous due to the numbness. please suggest me any exercise to reduce his numbness. thanking you, Regards Bhaskar Rao Tolana

Hello
I think your father is a lucky man to get back to all activities after a stroke. The numbness he is suffering from is probably due to the stroke and more specifically the loss of blood supply to the part of the brain controlling sensations. The brain functions after a stroke take time to recover , helped by physiotherapy etc. Sensory feelings would sometimes take longer than expected . There is nothing to worry in this regard and there is no real drug to improve this except for the continuation of the blood thinners which I think he must be already on .

best wishes to him
