Hello.Unfortunately PSA levels are very high.These levels of PSA with bone pain probably means that his father has multiple bony metastases.
Besides of hormonal treatment- is right the drug that you refer-it is important use of opiates derivatives to control pain . Please consult your local doctor for a prescription.
In this case, because of their very high levels of PSA,the treatment is only palliative,is not curative.
I wish you good health.
