Shoulder Pain Pump & Law Firms

Injuries are being linked to the use of infusion pumps to control pain following arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The injury is called Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis (PAGCL). It means deterioration and death of shoulder joint cartilage following arthroscopic surgery.

Patients, surgeons and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have become aware of the problem, typified by extreme pain and debilitation. This post-anesthesia damage can produce lifelong injury and suffering.

Patients have received post-surgical anesthesia for years to control pain following arthroscopic surgery. And, the anesthetic has been injected into the joint. What seems to be causing the problem, however, is a more recent technique, involving:

Use of an infusion pump to deliver the anesthetic into the shoulder joint
The continuous delivery of anesthetic over a period of 48 to 72 hours

Something in this process may be causing the degradation and death of the cartilage inside the joint, leading to debilitating pain, additional surgery, and the prospect of lifelong disability. As the cartilage deteriorates, this normal cushion to prevent the bones from scraping against each other disappears.

Symptoms of PAGCL include:

Pain in the shoulder, whether it is in motion or at rest
Stiffness in the shoulder
Decreased space between the bones in the joint, which shows up on x-ray
Reduced ability to move the shoulder in different directions
Grinding, clicking or popping noises when the shoulder is moved
Weakness in the shoulder
