Narrative

Employee was on his knees measuring cut. When he stood up, he twisted to avoid hitting the saw bar (not running). When he did this there was a ""pop"" in his knee. He tried to walk it off. After going home and resting a couple hours, it was hard to walk and it makes a popping noise when he does walk.
