Narrative

Mechanic needed to fill a Gator with hydraulic oil. He went to retrieve a 5-gallon pail of oil (weight 38.76lbs). During the lift he felt a sharp pain in his elbow. He experienced limited motion and swelling so was taken to the clinic for evaluation. X-rays were negative, no medications were prescribed, but he was returned to work with 25 pound lifting restriction.
