Narrative

A miner who had undergone treatment for cancer believes they broke a rib while stretching. The miner was seated in the breakroom before beginning work and raised their arms above their head, stretching and felt a tingling in their back/side. Later was diagnosed with a fractured rib. It is unclear if this was the event that caused the fracture.
