Narrative

Ee was moving metal fittings with two coworkers. As EE bent down and began to lift, EE felt a sharp pain in EE's low back. EE stopped the lift and was taken to the ER for evaluation. EE was diagnosed with an acute muscle strain and spasm, and was released with restrictions that the site could not accommodate.
