Narrative

Injured employee was using a sledge hammer while repairing a crusher, and he felt pain in his shoulder. After several weeks, the pain lessened, but did not stop. A second medical exam and MRI revealed 'impingement' of the rotator cuff, and surgery was recommended. The surgery was completed on May 20, 2011, and he returned to work the next scheduled work day.
