Narrative

Employee was climbing ladder to haul truck and felt a sharp pain in his lower back. Delay in reporting due to misdiagnosis by doctor. Doctor stated the pain was caused by a fractured vertebrae from a fall. The employee had not fallen and went for a second opinion where a pinched nerve consistent with the activity was diagnosed making the injury reportable.
