Narrative

The haul truck driver has developed bone spurs and arthritis over a long period of time which has caused a narrowing of the space between the C4 & C5 vertebrae. This narrowed space due to the bone spurs has resulted in neck pain when operating equipment. He had an injection to reduce inflammation on 7/29/15 which makes this condition reportable as an illness.
