Widely taking a guess that his pain might be radiating from back. Physiotherapist ‘s consultation is advisable.
Next Steps
If he can make him lie on the stomach. It may give slight pain or discomfort in the back. But on the whole of his leg pain is better he may continue to be in the position for 15-20 mins
Health Tips
If at all his leg pain increases then do not continue.

Tell your father to lie down on his back with 1-2 pillows under both knees.
If this reduces his pain then he needs supervised physiotherapy.
