Shoulder Pain Pump Lawsuit
July 30, 2008
Filed under Medical Alerts, Shoulder Pain Pump
Shoulder pain pumps are frequently used after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. After surgery has been preformed, the pain pumps are attached to the shoulder using a catheter and medication is provided to the shoulder area continuously for a select amount of time. Normally, shoulder pain pumps stay in place for 2 to 3 days after surgery.
While the shoulder surgery and application of the pain pump may seem simple and nonevasive, the side effects caused by the pain pump are life altering.
Pain pumps have frequently been used in other surgeries; however, the painful side effects have not presented themselves to the extent they have in shoulder pain pump patients.
Shoulder pain pumps have been put on a medical watch list by the FDA due to the shoulder condition, PAGCL, which they cause. PAGCL, Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis, is a condition which involves the deterioration of cartilage in the shoulder. This condition is extremely painful, damaging, and currently has no cure.
