Shouler Pain Pump Class Action Lawsuits

Class action lawsuits for shoulder pain pump injuries seek compensation for individuals who develop postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis (PAGCL) following use of a shoulder pain pump.

What is a Shoulder Pain Pump Used For?

Implanted following arthroscopic surgery (a type of minimally-invasive surgery used to treat complicated joint conditions), shoulder pain pumps are medical devices that:

are implanted in the shoulder joint
slowly release pain relief medication (such as lidocaine or bupivacaine) to help patients recover from surgery

Shoulder pain pumps are made by various medical device manufacturers, including (but not limited to):

Breg, Inc.
I-Flow
Stryker

Patients who develop PAGCL following implantation of a shoulder pain pump:

will likely have a legal claim against the manufacturer of their shoulder pain pump
should meet with a personal injury lawyer who handles shoulder pain pump lawsuits to learn more about their legal rights

Symptoms and Incidence of PAGCL

Ironically, PAGCL can be worse than the conditions that arthroscopic surgery and shoulder pain pumps are used to treat. According to the American Journal of Sports Medicine, as much as 63 percent of patients who use shoulder pain pumps have a significant risk of developing postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis.

Should patients start developing the following symptoms after use of shoulder pain pumps, they likely have developed PAGCL:

a grinding, popping or clicking felt in the shoulder joint
decreased range of motion
shoulder stiffness and pain
weakness in the shoulder joint

Unfortunately, there is no cure for PAGCL. Treatments, as a result, involve:

reducing the occurrence and severity of symptoms
improving injured patients' quality of life as much as possible

Benefits of Shoulder Pain Pump Class Action Lawsuits

Class action lawsuits have benefits unique from individual personal injury lawsuits:

allow individuals with less severe injuries to pool their claims
give plaintiffs distance from day-to-day legal proceedings so they can more fully focus on their recovery
tend to expedite the legal process, as testimony from various expert witnesses can be used for multiple claims.

Prospective plaintiffs can find out more about their legal rights, as well as whether a shoulder pain pump class action lawsuit is right for them, by meeting with an experienced shoulder pain pump attorney.

In addition to thoroughly evaluating an individual's case, shoulder pain pump lawyers will also:

provide plaintiffs with aggressive, professional representation for future legal proceedings
give plaintiffs access to experts who can verify medical and legal claims (when such expert testimony is needed for official legal proceedings)
work on contingency to alleviate financial strain on injured parties as they seek the settlements they deserve
