Go see ur FamilyDoc: There's not enough info for more definitive answer but strokes can definitely lead to (painful) muscle contracture which is why rehabilitation is so important in the immediate aftermath. You didn't describe how long your legs have been hurting or how long your toes have been curled, but if from soon after stroke, then yes, most likely a contracture. Stretching exercises might help but be patient.
