MD80 CABIN CREW IS INJURED DURING TURB PENETRATION.

Narrative

CAPT ADVISED US IN PREBRIEFING BEFORE BOARDING TO REMAIN SEATED UNTIL HE CALLED. HE CALLED AND ADVISED US WE COULD RESUME OUR DUTIES. IT WAS A LITTLE BUMPY SO I REMAINED SEATED UNTIL I FELT I COULD GET UP SAFELY. I WAS THE #2. I GOT UP AND WENT INTO THE AFT GALLEY TO PREPARE FOR OUR BEVERAGE SVC. I GUESS I WAS THERE ABOUT 5 MINS WHEN WE HIT SEVERE TURB. I COULD NOT WALK -- COULD NOT MOVE. I TRIED TO GRAB THINGS IN THE GALLEY BUT WITH NO SUCCESS. I FELL TO THE FLOOR AND ASKED THE PAX AT SEATS 28D AND 29D TO GRAB ME AND HOLD ME DOWN. THEY DID SO! I FELT LIKE I COMPRESSED MY WHOLE BODY TO PREVENT ME FROM GOING TO THE CEILING. I REMAINED ON THE FLOOR FOR A FEW MINS TO MAKE SURE IT WAS OK TO GET UP AND TO MAKE SURE I WAS NOT HURT. I FELT OK AT THE TIME. WE DID OUR BEVERAGE SVC WITH CONTINUED OFF AND ON TURB. I STARTED HURTING DURING THE SVC; LOWER BACK; SHOULDER; NECK; HEAD; L KNEE AND R HAND. THE #4 CALLED THE COCKPIT TO ASK WAS THERE MORE TURB BEFORE WE DID OUR SVC. SOMEONE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE RADAR. SHE ADVISED THEM WE WERE ON OUR KNEES. I ADVISED THE CAPT WHAT HAPPENED AND I NEEDED TO WRITE A RPT. I TOLD HIM I GOT HURT. I INFORMED HIM HE NEEDED TO RPT IT ALSO. WHEN TURB HIT; I WAS TOSSED AROUND FROM ONE SIDE OF THE GALLEY TO THE OTHER TRYING TO GRAB SOMETHING.
