Narrative

The employee was reaching for a powerpack as a co-worker handed it down to him. He claims he pulled his right shoulder when the other employee dropped the powerpack to him. He reported it, but thought it would be OK. However, the pain has persisted. An MRI on 8/13/07 showed he has had some trauma in the shoulder and he was given 2 shots.
