On 3/21/08 EE stepped from under the cone belt to the over screen, when his feet went out from under him. He used his right arm to catch himself. When he got up he had pain in his shoulder and trouble raising his right arm. He continued working that day and full time until surgery on April 17th, 2008. As discussed with MSHA this injury becomes reportable on surgery date.
EE had surgery today on one wrist for carpal tunnel syndrome that was caused by repetitive motion. He will have surgery on the other wrist in approximately 6 weeks.
