Pain Pump Shoulder Surgery Lawsuit Attorneys, Lawyers Pittsburgh Pennsylvania – Litigation News Updates
If you or a loved one received a pain medication pump or pain ball after shoulder surgery and have developed cartilage loss in the shoulder, you may have a legal claim against the manufacturer. Our law firm is investigating pain pump lawsuit cases nationwide.
Several well respected medical journals have established a link between the use of intra articular shoulder pain pumps and a horrible condition called Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis (PAGCL). By utilizing these pumps, doctors are able to inject a continuous stream of pain killers into the shoulder to help the patient with pain management. Unfortunately, the medication is toxic to the shoulder joint and can result in the deterioration of cartilage and ultimately a shoulder replacement.
Pain Pump Shoulder Surgery Lawsuit
On November 13, 2009, the FDA announced that it is requiring the drug manufacturers to update their product labels to warn healthcare professionals about this potential serious adverse effect.
What are the symptoms of PAGCL?
Symptoms typically show up after several months from the surgery. You might notice that you are having difficulty with mobility and reduced range of motion. Others have complained about hearing a bothersome clicking sound. In some of the worse cases, the shoulder makes a grinding and popping sound and is extremely painful.
