Narrative

EE was sacking 100 pound bags and stacking them on pallets. He felt overloaded with the amount he was sacking and he started feeling pain in his lower left lumbar area. The same illness was reported back in August of 2009, therefore it is a recurrence. He will be placed on modified duty until further notice.
