What happened
While pushing the foam under the patient I felt a pop and then pain in my left shoulder. Despite treating it with [REDACTED] for the [REDACTED] there has been no improvement. The shoulder feels as if it is popping slightly out of place at times and I have to manually put it back in place. The last time this happened was while I was on the toilet leaning forward with my elbows on my knees. I had to push my shoulder against the corner of the wall to get it to return to the correct position. I deny numbness tingling or radiating pain but my arm feels heavy and achy when hanging at my side.
