A shoulder pain pump is a medical device the delivers pain medication to a patient who is experiencing pain following arthroscopic surgery. The pain pump works by infusing medication through a catheter that is placed in the patient’s shoulder joint. Patients will typically use a pain pump for three days following surgery.

Shoulder pain pumps may put patients at risk of suffering severe injuries and damage to the cartilage at the joint. If you or someone you love has suffered injuries as a result of using a shoulder pain pump, you may be able to recover compensation for the damages you face. Damages may include physical pain, medical costs and lost wages due to an inability to work.

Dangers of Shoulder Pain Pumps

Patients who use shoulder pain pumps are at risk of sustaining permanent cartilage damage in their shoulder. In fact, pain pump use has been directly linked to the development of post-arthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis (PAGCL). PAGCL is a painful condition that destroys the cartilage in the joint. The damage may be irreversible and will often require surgery as treatment.

PAGCL Symptoms

Patients who develop this condition may experience the same symptoms they had before surgery, only on a much worse scale. Symptoms may include a combination of the following:

• Shoulder pain when it is in motion
• Pain in the shoulder when it is still
• Chronic stiffness in the shoulder joint
• Lost range of motion
• Shoulder weakness and fatigue
• Clicking, grinding and/or popping I the shoulder joint

Currently, there is no cure for the condition. Medication can help with mild symptoms; however, patients may require medication to ease the pain for the rest of their lives.
