What happened

[REDACTED] [REDACTED] (Electronic SREO) I was going to do a chest x-ray in ER room 10. The patient was obese and I told him that I needed to have him sitting up straight in the bed for the x-ray. As I went to sit the stretcher up he leaned back instead of leaning forward and his weight caused my back to crack. I was initially in pain but was able to complete the x-ray. I informed my coworkers what happened and was in pain the rest of the morning but was hoping I would feel better once I got some rest. Unfortunately I am still in pain a day after the incident. Activity Before Incident: I was at the patient 's bedside explaining what I was about to do. (chest x-ray)
