Hello, Sorry to hear about your father. As age is important to make a decision on anything about osteophytes which is missing in history.  Coming to osteophytes, there is only a surgical removal decision taken if the osteophytes are making some neurological compromise and disabling symptoms.  If none of this are present the surgical excision will not be look for.  Also, doing surgery might not be as simple as understood, since the osteophytes will be too close the spinal nerves and may lead to major complications so avoiding the surgical part will be better than per me.  Medicine is symptomatic, and they act as a supporting be treatment the rest healing is done by the body itself.  It's a great saying in medicine - body is a medicine of its own, and it will heal on its own It's just need some support.  So let the body heal on its own rather putting the knife. Now since he is having back pain which is on a higher scale, I am sure he must be advised for some painkillers.  Continue the painkillers and use the hot water fermentation along with lumbar brace. Wait and see if the symptoms come down.  Once the pain levels are Chat Doctor.  Once the pain is again
