He did not sleep last night and his back his hurting. Does he need to go to the ER? He was seen by a team trainer and an ambulance attendant at the game but they said he was fine.

Brief Answer:
Needs evaluation at ER.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The persistent pain is worrisome. There can be a soft tissue injury. An MRI scan is needed to find out the extent of injury he has suffered. It is best to attend an ER for a proper evaluation.
Be careful to give pain killer after meals to avoid gastric acidity. He may need an over the counter anti emetic and antacids to feel better.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
