What happened
The OR called for the crash cart. I was in day surgery folding patient bags. I ran to the crash cart grabbed it turned left to go through PACU turned right out of PACU which was a harder turn because I was running pretty fast. I pushed the cart to the OR door. The crash cart doesn 't turn well at all. Initially I felt worse pain in my left hip than usual. My back felt fine at the time. no worse pain than usual. [REDACTED] my hip actually felt better than usual back still felt the same. I went home. At home I got on my hands and knee to plug in a fan and when I went to stand back up the pain I felt in my back was so bad I found it hard to breathe. I crawled over to a chair and rested my elbows on it. I stayed there in ungodly pain for about a minute and a half. I very slowly was able to stand back up. I had horrible constant worse than usual pain shooting down my leg that wrapped from the back of my leg around to the front of my shin. My leg also felt tingly which I had never experience
