Narrative

Employee states he was feeling pain in the lower groin area. There was no specific accident or injury, but since he's a material handler he felt the problem was from lifting, moving, and carrying supplies over a period of time. He was referred for an evaluation and was diagnosed with a hernia which was determined to meet WC guidelines and accepted as an occupational illness.
