I was repositioning the patient in the bed with the aide we had to roll her from side and side to get pillows adjusted When I pulled her toward me I felt a pain in between shoulder blades.

Patient was needing to be readjusted in the bed and when I pulled her to roll toward me I felt pain in my neck and in between shoulder blades I thought it was just muscle soreness until I started to have burning and numbness radiate down my right arm
