## Narrative

I went to the tool room to get a new tip and nozzle for my welder, and I got tangled up in the torch hoses, and fell out of the tool room on to the ground.  After getting up something popped in my back and that is when I tried to walk the pain out but it didn't help and I decided to go to the Emergency Room to get checked out.
