Hi yogesh
Cervical spondylitis is common at your age. By changing medications might not help you much. Ultracet will cause nausea, giddiness too.
You need more physio and safe medications.

• Sports Taping- stretch the tape from both ends and apply on the affected area
• Contrast Fomentation (Hot and Cold).
• Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment in which knee is applied warm water followed by the immediate application of the knee with ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.

This may be arthritic pain
avoid sitting down and do knee strengthening exercises oil or gel for local application n ultracet for pain.

Hi,
your father needs to be examined by a orthopaedic surgeon.
Based on the history ,there are two possibilities.
1.pain aggrevating due to stress on the aging back bones and discs.
2. Osteoporosis. Weak bone in the back. Sometimes causing compression due stress and resulting in pain.
I would suggest you to first get an x-ray of dorso lumbar spine (ap and lateral views) and proceed.
Regards.
