Before the incident

I m picking up the sway bars out of a large steel bin sometimes the sway bars come straight up and down and this makes it easy to pick up with the hoist but a lot of the time the sway bars come in tangled. I have to untangle the sway bars and I can t use my hoist when I have to do that. [REDACTED] when I was untangling the sway bars and lifting one at an angle to remove it from the bin my left wrist twisted down and outward. I ve had some swelling and can t rotate my wrist without sharp pain that goes up my left arm. [REDACTED] Registered Nurse [REDACTED] [REDACTED]:[REDACTED]
