Injury or illness

Statement On Wednesday August 302023 I was on my WN route at stop 1 in Mooresville NC. I was unloading my trailer as usual and after releasing one of the tires I felt a hard pop in my right elbow. I went into my truck and put on a compression sleeve and finished the unload. Shortly thereafter while driving to stop 2 of my route I began to feel pain in my elbow the pain was radiating up my arm into my hand. I began to flex my hand and arm as they were beginning to go numb. The pain continued to decline and spike as I drove therefore I called my transportation manager to inform her. This incident occurred around 6 50am.
