A shoulder pain pump is supposed to bring post-operative relief to those who have had surgery. It does so by periodically supplying the body with a local anesthetic delivered through the pump to the shoulder. However, not all shoulder pain pumps are administered to patients correctly, and this can be due to manufacturer error and negligence.

Some manufacturers of shoulder pain pumps have failed to conduct proper studies of the device's safety, or lack of it. They also have failed to alert and direct physicians as to the best possible use of the shoulder pain pump, and of potential dangers should the pump not be used properly.

Manufacturer errors lead to shoulder pain pump miseries

Instead, some manufacturers have wrongly instructed physicians to insert the shoulder pain pump directly into the shoulder joint after a shoulder surgery. The result in many cases has been excruciating and relentless pain due to a resulting condition called PAGCL, or postarthroscopic glenhumeral chondrolysis.

PAGCL leads to a deterioration of the cartilage surrounding the shoulder joint. When cartilage disappears, bones in the joint start to grind together painfully -- if not excruciatingly. Such pain can be unbearable for sufferers, who may have trouble sleeping or even sitting down as a result. Their only alternative from suffering pain for a lifetime may be shoulder replacement surgery.

If such surgery is needed, who should pay for it? It shouldn't be the patient or his or her insurance provider. It should be the manufacturers whose negligence and errors led to the patient's injury and suffering. A shoulder pain pump attorney with Jim S. Adler & Associates can provide the legal help to claim financial recovery for such loss from those who are responsible.

Again, such a loss should not have happened. Ideally, an intra-articular shoulder pain pump should make life better, providing a medication that lessens pain after surgery -- and doesn't cause more pain.

But when manufacturers improperly direct physicians on how to administer a shoulder pain pump -- with directions not approved by the Food and Drug Administration -- then that shoulder pain pump can be extremely harmful.

Such manufacturers who are responsible for shoulder pain pump injuries include Stryker, Inc., Donjoy Corp., I-Flow Corp. and Breg, Inc. They manufactured their shoulder pain pumps with such names as I-Flow, Stryker, Stryker PainPump 1, Stryker PainPump 2, On-Q Painbuster, Donjoy, Donjoy Pain Control Device, PainPump Blockaid and Accufuser Plus Pain Pump. Also responsible is the manufacturer which produced the pain-easing medication for the shoulder pain pump.

The errors and negligence of such manufacturers mean they must be held responsible when a patient suffers a shoulder pain pump injury. That's why it's vital that sufferers contact an experienced and knowledgeable shoulder pain pump lawyer with Jim S. Adler & Associates.
