Shoulder Pain Pump Side Effects/Lawsuits

Shoulder Pain Pumps have been in extensive use for many years for patients coping with pain following arthroscopic shoulder surgery.  The purpose of the pain pump is to deliver medicine, including anesthetics directly into the shoulder joint.  It is recommended that the delivery begin a few days after surgery.  Unfortunately, the shoulder pump has been linked to a rare side effect including Chrondrolysis, specifically called Post Arthroscopic Glenohumeral Chrondrolysis.

The California and national law firm of Nadrich & Cohen is investigating potential cases of victims who used the shoulder infusion pump after arthroscopic surgery and have subsequently been diagnosed with Chrondolysis or cartilage loss or have suffered such symptoms after surgery.  We are representing victims in California, the western states and nationally.  Please contact us if you or a loved one has been suffering from shoulder problems linked to the pain pump after arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

This rare side effect condition develops due to the sudden deterioration of cartilage located within the shoulder joint.  With the disintegration, victims experience severe problems including shoulder popping, extreme pain and clicking.  Scientific research has established a link between the use of these shoulder infusion pumps and this irreversible deterioration of cartilage.

Our law firm is involved in investigating potential cases of victims who used the shoulder pump after surgery.  We are experienced litigators who have the resources and experience to represent victims against a medical device or pharmaceutical manufacturer.

The reasons we are so very much involved in the Shoulder Pain Pump injury side effect project is that we believe every surgeon should have informed his or her patient the dangers of the pain pump, which include the potential risk associated with a pain pump catheter device that infuses pain medication directly into the joint space and that one can develop Chondrolysis from the pump. This rare disease occurs from the infusion of anesthetic into a person's shoulder joint space through the use of the pain pump. Most people have no idea that they suffered an injury in this manner. The doctor has an obligation to his patient to inform if he uses a pain pump device that transfers medication continually via a catheter directly into the shoulder joint.
