What happened

Have been dealing with mild back pain for about a week. [REDACTED] was setting up the rhino yards and back was sore tender. When time to stir wallow I lifted my left leg to walk in wallow and sharp pain traveled from my back down the back of my left leg and left hip. I tried to rest and split work with my coworker so I was doing more computer sedentary tasks. When lunch break was over at [REDACTED] I tried to walk uphill to the rhino encounter but my back pain is so severe that it is extremely painful to walk.
