Shoulder Surgery and PAGCL

Have you ever undergone an arthroscopic shoulder surgery? Well, usually this shoulder surgery is to be followed by pain. To manage the pain after the surgery procedure, as the alternative to the older narcotic pain reliever, the latest and more popular way is by using shoulder pain pump to deliver controlled amount of local anesthetics. However, recent studies show that this pain pump may deliver too much medicine, destroying valuable cartilage and leading to a painful condition known as Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis (PAGCL). In fact, this can often results in permanent shoulder pain and loss of mobility. If anyone of you experiences this, you must know that if you are suffering from PAGCL after shoulder surgery, you are entitled to legal compensation.
