Narrative

Employee had just pulled his powder truck under the powder bin to reload. The powder truck was parked in a rut requiring him to step a little higher to the first step. The employee then felt pain in his groin area. The employee continued to work the rest of the shift and returned the next day but the pain increased so he went to get it checked.
