Suggest Remedies For Severe Pain In Right Foot

My husband had a stroke 5 years ago and is paralyzed on his right side. He has been prescribed tizanadine and gabapentin at different times for different things. He doesn t take either one on a regular basis. Today his right foot is having a lot of pain. He s been taking the tizanadine but he s very dizzy. Would the gabapentin be a better choice?
