Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The leg pains can be related to many medical conditions.
Beside steroid shots, your father can use other alternative treatment.
I suggest to try painkillers such as Ibuprofen 400 mg to relieve the pain.
It can be taken three times a day.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
