What happened

Myself and the tech cleaned and pulled up patients in [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] who were total cares and I remember telling my tech I think I pulled too hard and hurt my back. My back hurt at the time but nothing I could not work through. However [REDACTED] night the day after the incident I was hit with low back pain I had cause I was unstable on my feet and was hurting from sitting and standing.ve never felt since having my kids with epidural. I could not feel it when touching my back but it was internal and shooting. I could not walk or sit properly neither could I lift up my 26lb toddler without tripping or having to sit down to be able to slide him up my legs. I took 650mg of Tylenol which did not help then my family member had to go get me some Ibuprofen and I took 800mg of that which helped a little. I also developed chills and a sore throat. I had this throughout the night on [REDACTED] and all day [REDACTED]. I had to call off work b
