Narrative

Employee was picking up belt structure by hand and felt a pain in lower back. He also felt pain in back from almost falling. He went for initial treatment on 5/5/14 and put him on restrictions that we could accommodate. Went back to doctor on 5/6/14 since he could not put on his boots because of pain and the doctor took him off work.
