Shoulder Pain Pumps
Shoulder pain pumps are sometimes prescribed for an individual who have undergone shoulder surgery or shoulder arthroscopy. The pain pump delivers analgesic medication through a small catheter inserted into the shoulder joint. Although in most cases the shoulder pain pump successfully relieves pain for patients, they have been known to have serious side effects. Of the shoulder pain pump side effects, the most common, and most debilitating is postarthroscopic glenohumeral chrondrolysis (PAGCL).
If you or a loved one has suffered a shoulder pain pump injury, please contact the experienced product liability attorneys at Roda Nast, P.C. today. We serve as tireless advocates for the injured and are standing by to help you recover compensation for losses associated with shoulder pain pump use.
PAGCL from Shoulder Pain Pump Use
Individuals who suffer from a shoulder pain pump-related PAGCL will experience one or more of the following symptoms:
- loss of strength in the shoulder that had the pain pump
- increased pain in the shoulder — at rest and/or with motion
- stiffness in the shoulder
- popping, clicking, or a grating/grinding
- decrease in range of motion in the shoulder
- narrowed shoulder joint space as shown on an x-ray
Pain Pump Use at Home
Shoulder pain pumps are given to patients to use at home following surgery or arthroscopy on the shoulder. Arthroscopy is the minimally invasive method of examining or treating a body joint. A very small incision or two is all that's necessary for arthroscopy of the shoulder, and it has become a very widely performed procedure, especially in light of the increasing numbers of "baby boomers" with arthritis and other age-or athletics-related shoulder problems.

There are several brands of shoulder pain pump available in the U.S. They include:
- Stryker (Pain Pump 1, Pain Pump 2, and Pain Pump 2 BlockAid)
