Pain Pumps

Pain pumps are external devices that distribute pain medication directly to the joint in patients who have undergone shoulder and other joint surgeries. These pumps are manufactured by Stryker Corporation, I-Flow Inc., DJO Inc., and BREG Inc. Recent research suggests that this method of delivering pain medication can cause postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis (PAGCL), which is severe cartilage damage that can result in permanent disability and sometimes require total joint replacement surgery.

Symptoms of this debilitating condition include joint weakness, stiffness, or pain, decreased mobility, and clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when the joint is moved. Anyone using a pain pump should request an x-ray from their physician in order to determine if they have PAGCL. If you or a loved one has suffered joint damage due to an external pain pump, consult a defective products attorney at The Law Offices of Lennon C. Wright to discuss your case. You may be entitled to compensation for your physical pain, medical bills, and other losses suffered as a result of using a shoulder pain pump.

In all matters involving products liability it is essential that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the accident in question, and file a lawsuit prior to the deadline imposed by the Statute of Limitations. If you or a loved one is a victim of personal injuries, call The Law Offices of Lennon C. Wright now at (713) 654-7878 or submit a simple Case Review Form. The initial consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to accept your case, we will work on a Contingent Fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary award or recovery of funds. Don't delay! You may have a valid claim and be entitled to compensation for your injuries, but a lawsuit must be filed before the statute of limitations expires.

The above is not legal advice. That can only come from a qualified attorney who is familiar with all the facts and circumstances of a particular, specific case and the relevant law. See Terms of Use.
