Shoulder pain pump injury merits a lawyer
February 4th, 2009
You say you went to the hospital for help — and you left the hospital not healed, but hurt?
Chances are you’ve had arthroscopic shoulder surgery, during which a shoulder pain pump was improperly inserted into your shoulder.
Ideally, a shoulder pain pump should deliver pain-easing narcotic medication to the shoulder after surgery in small, intermittent doses. Due to manufacturer design defects and improper directions to physicians, some shoulder pain pumps, when inserted directly into the shoulder joint, can cause cartilage deterioration and, ultimately, severe chronic pain.
