Hi, welcome to health care magic. after going through your father's problem. My opinion is that your father may be suffering from pancreatitis. its pain appears in abdomen and referred to back. for backache visit orthopedician and for pancreatitis visit gastroenterologist. please have MRI of spine done, serum amylase done. ask your father to avoid forward bending, lifting weight. apply hot fomentation to back. hope your query get solved. welcome for further queries.
