March 2, 2011 WA · Metal/Non-Metal laborer, blacksmith, bull gang, parts runner, roustabout, pick-up man, pitman HANDLING OF MATERIALS
Shawnee Rock Inc · Over-exertion in lifting objects

EE called me at home Wednesday evening at about 7:30 PM to tell me his shoulder hurt and he was going to the doctor to have it checked out. After an X-ray, it was decided he had a bone cyst which was causing him pain and the doctor told him not to work for a week. I believe this is not a reportable incident since the shoulder pain is a symptom of the bone cyst.
