## Narrative

Driller was loading empty barrels into the back of the work pickup truck.  While in the process he felt a twinge in his lower back. Over the course of the next week and a half, his back started to get worse by the day. Finally he went to the doctor on 12/9/04 who said his back was strained and out of place so he popped his back and prescribed muscle relaxers.
