What happened

I was delivering some packages to an apartment that is on the 3rd floor. I went to lift the back on the truck up to retrieve the packages however I felt a slight pain in my lower back. The pain became sharper. I lifted the 30lb package so that I could take it to the door. As I was walking up the stairs my legs gave way because of the weight of the package then I felt a straining pull in my lower back. The pain made me almost fall on the stairs. I had to experience that each time I went up the stairs. In this injury my legs gave way because the pain was so bad. My back couldn 't support my legs because of the weight of the packages and the strain of climbing each step. A dull ache persisted in my butt the rest of the day. [REDACTED]
