First of all ,yours father requires a MRI lumber spine to get further information on causes of this pain.Without MRI and clinical examination it is highly difficult to comment on that he needs surgery or not .Although both treatment available and most of patient responds well with Medicine.

Take complete bed rest till further consultation and investigation.
