As fazalwahab correctly said, I can't manage this problem without having a look at your dad. However I have excluded certain pathologies that would require immediate attention.
I would advise him not to take any pain killer tablets without a doctors advice (who has actually examined him) and if prescribed, he should never take them on an empty stomach as it damages the internal protective lining of the stomach and intestine causing ulcerations which are painful and have their own problems.
Nor should he do any back exercises till a doctor examines him. He will pinpoint whether this pain is muscular or due to a joint and every joint /muscle pain has its own specific exercises. Till then no heavy lifting. And buy him a car seat support cushion (molty foam) so that his back doesn't ache when he drives.
As a safe yet effective remedy, I would advise 'fastum gel' (contains ketoprofen 2.5%) to applied on the area which is painful and massaged. And get an appointment from an orthopaedic doctor as soon as possible.
I know a good orthopaedic doctor in Islamabad and if you're interested I could PM you his details.

Well for better diagnosis he need an MRI. I had several X-rays. MRI costs 2300 dollars without insurance ( my insurance covered 80% of it) and its cheap not here ad well. None of my xray showed the severity of the compression/ bulging out disc. It was showing the reduced space between the vertebras only. If he is is in a lot of pain for a longer period of time ,the doctor might go for MRI as in my case. To further confirm if the disc is compressed, which direction, how much, also if its touched the spinal canal as well as if there is any fluid leakage from nucleus of disc. All this info is not possible from xray at all.

Its again doctor opinion. I was almost paralyzed few weeks ago.. I am sharing what I m going through . Last Monday I was ready for laser spine surgery but Allah helped and my pain reduced and doctor have postponed it for now..
And he need to go to neurophysicsn or may be neurosurgeon./ with speciality in spine..

Below is my findings. None was visible in Xray except reduce space at L4-5

Pmd you.
No medications/exercises/diagnostic tests without examining the patient.
This forum is to guide everyone. Not to treat, prescribe medications without looking at the patient. I hope you understand.
Get an appointment ASAP, he will advise you the diagnostic tests ( only certain labs are reliable so he will guide you on that too) and what exercises your father should do.
He is a foreign qualified doctor and almost every embassy is under his care as well.

We can't tell whether the pain is in the spine or in the hip bone unless we examine him. Yes, MRI is more useful but it can only be recommended by a qualified doctor after examining him. And again as we aren't sure about the exact site of the pathology we can't advise exercises without being sure.
This could worsen the pain unless we pinpoint the pathology.
I hope you get my point.
We can only advise people what to do. And offer supportive treatment which is not detrimental in any way. For example, when you suffered from your problem, you got an MRI done and exercised prescribed only after someone had thoroughly examined you.
The exercise may be useful and alleviate his pain but it may also be detrimental. Why take a chance when he can get expert consultation in his home town.
I'm a qualified doctor but I too never prescribe anything without having a look at the patient myself.

The first suggestion I made was all above in the thread that his dad need to personally see a doctor ( if you read )., no one can make any recommendation or diagnosis here. I am not professional in this field. I shared what I was suffering from. Even a well qualified doctor cant suggest until he see and diagnose after tests.
Same like all my close family members professional qualified specialist doctors couldn't do anything in my case. Until i went personally to a doctor.

I hope his dad gets better. This is all what Everyone wants. Good luck and best wishes for him..

i agree bro. I wasn't pointing anything at you. i just wanted to clarify to him that he needs to go to a doctor. and do as the doctor advises. when the final diagnosis is made by the orthopaedic after thorough examination/ tests, then we can post exercises related to that particular region.
ps: i'm sorry if i offended you. i'm also sorry that i missed that line where you mentioned that he needs to see an expert doctor.

life span of circulating platelets is very short they regularly get replaced so it is safe to donate platelets in your case

For platelets donation, you're hooked up to a machine which removes the platelets and returns the rest of the blood to your body. This is known as apheresis.
You need to ensure that they've this machinery in the blood bank.

Plus also bear in mind that unless the piping and all isn't replaced in the machine, you could also be susceptible to certain dangerous infections.
My advice: keep it simple, donate blood after 3 months. Ask the blood bank to process it themself without returning the blood.
It's best not to take a chance in Pakistan at least where there isn't proper check and control. I am not sure if they even dispose off the blood contaminated pipings after every donation. I think they just sterilise the equipment and keep reusing it again. However you can confirm this with some insider in the blood bank
Convince your friends to also donate blood the safe way rather than you donating blood more often.
2 - 3 months is the standard time which is recommended between blood donations.
Your blood has separate components, such as:
Plasma- takes a day or two to replenish
Red cells- 4-6 weeks to replenish

So that's why a minimum of 8 weeks are required between blood donations.
Plus I hope you take the proper precautions.. Drink plenty of water after donating blood, eat iron rich foods and if you feel light headed after a donation, don't drive on your own that day nor stand for prolonged hours.

Exactly This Is The Place In His Back.

Right. I get it. Btw, that's not the left iliac fossa then. It's the posterior left lower lumbar region superior to the left iliac crest.
Again I can't say anything without examining him.
However as I mentioned before you can apply for fastum gel (2.5% ketoprofen) and gently massage the area twice a day (NO PAIN KILLER TABLETS WITHOUT PRESCRIPTION) till you get an appointment with an orthopaedic doctor.
When the final diagnosis is made, do share or on this forum so that we can advise exercises - you will also get expert opinion from USA (courtesy @fazalwahab11375) but first, get your father diagnosed.
