Question:

An employee reports groin pain after attempting a heavy lift in a warehouse. After a doctor evaluation, the employee is prescribed over the counter naproxen and one week off of work to rest the groin. A follow up visit is scheduled one week later after completing the rest. Upon the follow up evaluation, the doctor discovers the employee is suffering from a disease that is not work-related that is causing the groin pain. Is it recordable?
