Employee Gets Injured Shoulder (Labrum Tear) Repeated Motion Injury
Last updated Tuesday, May 9th, 2023
You know I’ll never forget the client who was injured while pushing a heavy broom at work.
He had been pushing this broom for long hours day after day.
Eventually, he started to feel chest pain.
Well at first he thought he was starting to have a heart attack and he had gone to the emergency room. Fortunately, a heart attack was ruled out. This young man was only 27 years old so he went back to work. At first, he was fine but when he started pushing that broom again with those long heavy strokes he felt the chest pain come back to his chest.
Well, he was sent home that day because no one could figure out what had happened to him but fortunately, he got referred to an orthopedic doctor who diagnosed him with a torn labrum.
