What happened

I was seeing a Hospice patient at facility. The patient required his bedding to be changed while he was in bed. One of our Hospice aides was present along with a facility aide. I was the only person holding the patient on his side and he is a large m an ( around 200 lbs.) that can not assist with bed mobility. The other aides were trying to get his fitted sheet changed. The first sheet did not fit bed so we had to roll him several times to remove it and place a new sheet that fit. After completing this task I developed low back pain. I wanted to see if it got better but on [REDACTED] I was still having pain so reported it to my supervisor.
