Narrative

An individual was working on the erection of an elevating scaffold. While lifting a piece of the tower over his head he felt a ""pop"" and experienced soreness. The individual saw the doctor where x-rays were negative but an MRI showed a partial tendon tear in his shoulder. The injury was initially treated through physical therapy but eventually had to be surgically repaired.
