Many people have shoulder injuries which require surgery. In some instances, physicians prescribed and implant what is called a "Pain Pump". The pain pump is designed to manage the pain associated with shoulder surgery. When implanted properly, a pain pump can manage a patient's pain effectively.
When the pain pump is installed improperly, serious problems can develop. When a pain pump is implanted where the medication is released in the shoulder joint, it is toxic to the cartilage. This can cause a condition known as Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chrondrolysis. This conditions causes pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint and limits the range of motion. Some patients require surgery to replace the shoulder joint damaged by the pain pump.
If you, friend or family member have had a pain pump and damage to your shoulder, please call Luke Pepper at 267.626.7546 for a free consultation.
