Narrative

A serviceman injured his right shoulder while cutting a padlock off a truck's tool bin with bolt cutters. Afterwards he swung his arm to test and relieve the pain when his shoulder popped. This caused dizziness and numbness to his arm, forcing him to kneel. After regaining strength, he rose to report it. He was seen locally and in Kayenta where a strain was diagnosed.
