What should my friend do?!

Question: What should my friend do?

While standing on the ground he fell on his back. I heard a crack, but he was fine. He even worked out the same day. The next day and since then (three days) his tail-bone and right foot have felt asleep. He is getting very worried and he doesn't have health insurance and needs to know what he should do.

Answers:

however it could just be a bruised nerve that would heal on its on in a few days without costing a hundred plus which is the value of open forums such as this one. the symptoms sound really minor at this point its just that you have an event to associate them with that makes it seem more significant. monitor the situation but if he's got vitals and movement it's probably no biggie

personal experience

You've put this question under 'alternative medicine'. If you think it could be serious, please do not seek alternative medicine as a first response. Visit a doctor or some registered healthcare professional who uses treatments which are actually backed up by research. If once you've done this you decide it's not for you, by all means go down the acupuncture and homoeopathy, but talk to your doctor first. It may be nothing, and an acupuncturist may be more interested in getting you to pay to let them stick needles in you than whether your friend actually has a problem.

FYI: alternative medicine = medicine which has not been shown consistently to be effective
