I wouldn't inject anything into a sick froggie without it seeing a vet just in case.

I wouldn't either. It still sounds like impaction to me. Otherwise it could be fungal, parasitic or bacterial infections. Whatever it is, all of those things take different medications and should be monitored by a vet. Have you tried feeding him yet? If he is refusing to eat, I would definitely get him looked at by a vet. How is his color?
On a side note, even when you have 4 frogs, it is best to watch what they are eating so that when stuff like this happens you have a better idea of what is going on. I think it is very important to keep careful watch on their feeding habits, that way you can see if they accidentally ingest something they shouldn't (like a stone or moss or something) I have 3 frogs in one tank and 1 in the other right now, in the tank with 3 frogs, I take them out individually every other night and feed them separately in a critter keeper so that I can make sure they each get their fair share. Otherwise I put the crickets in the tank and watch them carefully to make sure they're all eating and they don't pick up anything they shouldnt.

Taking him to the vet right now isn't even an option. :/
I don't have any money to take him and no I haven't fed him yet.
I went to the pet store but they said ther out of crickets until tomorrow around noontime so i'll go get them then.
And thanks for the tip about feeding them lilypad.
I've always worried about them not getting enough food so i'm gonna start feeding them separately now.
If he's sick, he should be in a quarantine tank to reduce the chance of your other frogs catching it. This will also ensure he won't get shoved aside at the dinner table.
Yeah I have it in a separate tank.
You could try soaking it in the salt solution - it won't do any harm. However, I think you're firmly in vet territory now.

Now he has something white sticking out of his butt.
Anyone know what that is???
