Narrative

The EE stated his back started to tighten 2 or 3 days prior and steadily got worse to the point of seeing a doctor on 5/28/10. The EE was referred to an orthopedic doctor, who was the same one who treated his back in the past, who comfirmed this was a pre-existing issue of a tear in the L5/S1 disc. See attached release signed by the doctor.
