Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The symptoms are suggestive of neuropathic pain due to nerve root compression in the lumbar (lower back) region. As of now, he would get relief from medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin. In addition, physiotherapy would also be useful. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
