## Narrative

EE is not sure of the exact incident. There are a couple of possibilities of when it happened 1)helping another EE move glue barrels 2)re-stacking a pallet or 3)closing a stubborn door on a box car. EE believes it was moving the barrels because he was bent, extended over them and applying force. EE didn't feel pain till he was in car after work/reported next day.
