My friend got hit extremely hard in the vertebrae with a guitar.
Is he going to be paralyzed?

if you poke him with a needle will he feel it, get up and smack you? If so - he's not paralyzed.
But seriously - if there is abnormal sensations (pins and needles, loss of sensation) or motor loss (decreased strength or inability to move a joint) please have him go to the doctor and get it checked out.

I would get him to go to the doctor in the hospital and get put into an upside down machine to straighten out his spinal colum before any permanent damage is done. Or go with the doctor to a gym and use their equipment.

highly unlikely. Can he move now? It won't happen after the fact.

I'm a nurse and of course anything is possible. I'm a Christian and I will pray for him tonight.
