Dear- thanks for using our service and will give you my medical advise. Your friend is suffering from back pain probably from herniated disc ,spinal stenosis or arthritis. This is probably pressing the nerve and giving radiation toward the side. It depends of the level of nerve damage, pain can radiates to one side or both. He might try bed rest,anti-inflammatory and heating pad for 2-3 days. If no improvement , he should have an evaluation with MRI of lumbosacral .
I hope that my advise has been helpful
