Narrative

EE lifted a cutting edge to install on a 627G scraper and twisted lower back. He felt pain then and for the next few days before going to a Chiropractor on 06/03/2013 who told him bone spurs prevented proper alignment of the back. He is going to another doctor today, 06/10/2013 for further diagnostics. He is currently off work.
