Narrative

Employee suffered a strain to his left elbow while working at R52 bulk loading dock. He was issued prescription medication and a restriction. He was helping to secure a barge that was being brought in. A co-worker threw a cable to him and he leaned to catch it. When he caught it, the cable jerked his left arm and hyperextended his elbow.
