Narrative

The employee was using a two-handed sledgehammer to move material in a feeder by striking the sides of the feeder. As the employee swung the sledgehammer over his head, he felt a ""pop"" in his left shoulder and released the sledgehammer, which then struck the same shoulder (left). The employee has scheduled an MRI to determine the extent of the damage (an x-ray revealed no damage).
