Hello.... MRI is required to know the exact location and extent of compression... He should have consulted neurosurgeon long back... If it's mild disc bulge physiotherapy is sufficient. If he condition is bad surgery is the best option. He should not lift weight, no climbing steps... Take him to neurosurgeon or orthopedic doctor.
