Pain Pump Lawsuits

Dec 13, 2008 Health, Legal Issues, Medical Procedure, Surgery

There are a number of persons who are presently suffering severe pain and in some cases loss of mobility in their shoulder after performing arthroscopic shoulder surgery and receiving pain pumps that are used to aid in the recovery process. The pain pump is good only to the extent that it delivers the right dose of medicine to help the patient recover quicker. But a recent study found out that the pain pump seems to give the patient too much medicine which in turn destroys cartilage located within the shoulder joint. This in effect this leads to a painful condition known as Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis, or PAGCL. The end result of PAGCL is permanent pain in the shoulder and loss of mobility. Interestingly, the same study shows that this condition only occurs in patients who “… received a shoulder pain pump filled with bupivacaine and epinephrine during their surgery.” Other studies also imply that approximately 63% of persons who perform arthroscopic shoulder surgery and receive a pain pump after the operation may develop PAGCL.
