Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. During periods of acute pain, rest is important. He needs to take rest and if its lower back, he can use lumbar support device.
2. Once his pain reduces, if X-ray is normal, he will need to start physiotherapy and back exercises to strengthen muscles. Posture is also very important. If overweight, weight reduction is essential. He can take calcium supplements.
3. cholesterol is high. Need to cut down on bad fat and increase good fat in diet. Weight reduction and medication is essential. Statins can be taken.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
