## Narrative

The EE was tramming the continuous miner from the #1 heading to the #5 heading in preparation for the next cut. When he approached the #2 intersection in the last open crosscut, he disengaged the power to the miner & bent over to pick up rope attached to miner cable to place on the tail of the miner. When he went to raise up, he felt sharp in lower back, left hip, & into his leg.
