New York Shoulder Pain Pump Attorneys
Shoulder pain pumps have received a lot of criticism and scrutiny lately. The pain pumps are designed to provide arthroscopic shoulder surgery patients some relief immediately after surgery. The pain pump is attached to a catheter which is then inserted into the shoulder joint. The pump delivers pain medication directly to the site of the surgery for 2-3 days following surgery or longer depending on how severe the pain is.
These pumps have grown in popularity because of their ability to help alleviate pain for the patient without the unpleasant side effects of narcotics. They also reduce the amount of breakthrough pain and result in less recovery time after surgery.However, shoulder pain pumps have been linked to the development of a rare condition known as Post-Arthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis (PAGCL), which causes the progressive destruction of cartilage in the shoulder joint. The condition typically shows up anywhere from 3-12 months after surgery, there is no successful treatment for it and it often results in permanent shoulder pain. The only solution to PAGCL to date is shoulder replacement surgery, a much more complicated and often very painful procedure.
Symptoms of Shoulder Pain Pump-Induced PAGCL
- Shoulder pain whether in motion or at rest.
- Clicking, popping or grinding of the shoulder.
- Shoulder stiffness or weakness.
- Decreased range of motion.
These pumps can be found under brand names such as the Stryker Pain Pump and the I-Flow On-Q Pump.
