Go to the Hospital.

when was the last time he moved his bowels? he could be just severely constipated, which would cause all those symptoms. If he doesn't have a fever, I doubt it is his appendix. If the pain is more to one side, it could be a kidney stone, but that would not cause pain down the legs...pressure on the spine from a too full bowel would however cause that sort of symptom.
If his bowels are regular, then I would suggest that it would be a good idea to see a doctor.

Im no medical scientist or doctor but the symtims (lol cant spell either) seem like a pendicitus because when i was having mine i felt exactly the same its best to ring the hospital for advice to see, but the symtoms do not sound very extensive so its just best to get a proffesional opion.]
just ring a local health clinic or 24 hour doctors sugery but im pretty shure that it is hius appendix.
I hope i Helped, and i hope ur dad will be ok

Its possible that it can be his appendix, but lets not rule out kidney infection or kidney stones, esp if it is lower abdominal pain and back pain mainly towards the sides rather than the middle. He should be seen by a doctor so that urine analysis can be done as well as an abdominal sonar.

It could.
Do this:
look at his abdomen in 4 sections dividing it equally left to right and top to bottom. Press on his abdomen in each of the four quadrants and see which one hurts worse. Either way you should still get him checked at the hospital emergency room because there are other organs in the abdomen which can be just as dangerous if inflamed or worse ruptured. Also check him for a fever.

Get your dad to a doctor or other health care professional. Appendicitis is one possibility, but there may be nerve and disk problems in his spine as well. In either case, waiting can make things much worse, and you shouldn't let anyone suffer needlessly.
Do it NOW?

Could be diabetes, thats how I felt before I found out I had it. Anyone could get it at any time, I was 19 and I'm 120 lbs, so I never thought I'd get it. I would make an appt asap.

It could be a lot of things. Almost sounds like a kidney stone. In any case, you should call 911. Good luck to both of you.
God bless!

it sounds like food poisoning, but really you need to get him to the emergency. It doesn't sound like his appendix but I'm not a doctor. I have heard that appedix pain is extremely painful.
