Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

What is the age of your father? How long he is suffering from back pain? MRI report is suggesting infection of the vertebra D11 and D12 which are last two vertebra of the thoracic spine. Intervertebral disk is also involved.

Infection can be due to bacteria, most likely causes are mycobacteria which happens in immunosuppressive state and old age. Diagnosis can be confirmed by biopsy of the tissue.

You need to consult orthopaedic spine specialist as soon as possible. Meanwhile, give him strict bed rest. Avoid forward bending and long travelling. Tab tramadol can be taken for pain relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jayesh Vaza
