Before the incident

I was getting a blood sugar on a patient in the lobby as requested by the charge RN.

What happened

After squatting to get a blood sugar on a patient in the lobby I went to get a blanket for a patient I had room before getting the sugar and then walked to check if a room that a patient was slotted for was clean. Then I went to sit back down at the WOW for Lobby 2 tech spot and felt a sharp pain in my lower back like a string pulling tight. The pain was so sudden I thought I was going to fall but ended up sitting down in the chair. After that the sharp pain never went away and every time I stood up I have to either try multiple times or move very slowly and it feels like my back is locking up in current spots when moving.
