Following arthroscopic shoulder surgery patients may have been given a shoulder pain pump by their doctors to help reduce pain after surgery. The shoulder pain pump is designed to provide a continuous flow of medicine to numb the area after surgery; however, due to the tight joint area in the shoulder the pain pump medicine results in life altering side effects and damage.

Normal recovery time for arthroscopic shoulder surgery ranges between one and six months, yet patients receiving a shoulder pain pump after surgery will suffer with pain and discomfort for years after their surgery.

Shoulder Pain Management Develops PAGCL

Use of a shoulder pain pump after arthroscopic surgery may also result in the development of postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis (PAGCL). PAGCL occurs as a result of the deterioration of shoulder cartilage. More information about PAGCL can be found here.
