My dad is suffering from back and right leg pain,he is unable to walk properly and has been recommended to apply hot packs to reduce pain. There seems to be a nerve problem. He is also unable to bend his feet(fingers)

If there is association of back pain and leg pain, then it is recommended to have an MRI scan of his spine. This will point to any problem in the spine which may be dealt with surgically. Either see an Orthopaedic spine surgeon before or after the scan. That will help in organising a plan of management.
