Persons in Oregon and elsewhere in the United States are being injured by deficient shoulder pain pump devices because of the fact that some creators of such devices have unwisely directed physicians in what way to administer the pain pump. When a shoulder pain pump catheter is directly inserted into the shoulder joint during arthroscopic shoulder surgery, the pain pump can provoke an extremely painful malady named postarthroscopic glenhumeral chondrolysis, also known as PAGCL. This injury results in deteriorated cartilage and leads to excruciating misery in the victim.

Damage caused by a defective shoulder pain pump can decrease a shoulder's range of motion, as well as make the shoulder grind and pop. This injury also may cause weakness, stiffness and pain. At worst, it can create a deterioration of shoulder cartilage which may be excruciating for victims. In such cases, the victim may need shoulder replacement surgery, whose cost must be borne by the manufacturers whose negligence caused the victim's injury. A skilled Oregon shoulder pain pump lawyer can fight to gain such financial recovery.

Instead of soothing a shoulder surgery patient in Oregon or elsewhere, some shoulder pain pumps intended to help instead cause great harm through irreversible cartilage damage. Victims then face severe pain and often are unable to sit or stand without agony. Such victims must be compensated financially for their medical bills, for lost wages from missed time at work and for their pain and suffering. Their severe pain must be remedied, and the financial means for doing so may require hiring an experienced Oregon shoulder pain pump lawyer.

Victims of defective shoulder pain pump injury in Oregon and throughout this nation have a legal recourse via a shoulder pain pump lawsuit against the corporations which are responsible for their suffering. So far, such shoulder pain pump lawsuits have targeted I-Flow Corp. and Stryker Corp., which create the pumps, as well as the makers of the anesthetics bupivacaine and epinephrine used in the pumps. Patients injured due to a shoulder pain pump assert that such corporations failed to make sufficient safety studies, and also did not warn doctors as to the danger of applying a shoulder pain pump improperly.
