There's nothing more alarming than seeing people seeking important advice from poor source. You do not seek medical advice from anonymous strangers on the internet. Many of my friends are doctors and nurses, and almost all of the complex cases they see were preventable at some point, had the patient sought good care and followed through on treatment.
One reason I really like this forum is that so many people already know this, and instead of playing a doctor on the web, tell people to see a doctor.
See a doctor.
Unnecessary testing and treatment impose costs and risks as well, and I'd give you ten to one that the first thing the doctor is going to ask is if he's doing anything new, and has he tried adjusting his seat.
I agree if that doesn't stop it, he should see a doctor, but my experience is that if I went in to see a doctor every time I experienced a pain after changing my fitness routine, I'd be wasting a lot of everyone's time and money.
The likelihood he has to wait awhile for an appointment anyway. Might as well see if he can get the "symptom" to go away.
