## Narrative

Miner was assisting to shift the width of the forks on an extenda-reach forklift.  While moving the forks, the miner felt a pain in EE's right forearm. The injury was initially treated as a first aid sprain, but the extended healing process led to a need for imaging which revealed a tear requiring surgery to repair. The determination that surgery was required was made on 5/16/25.
