Re: Local anesthetics add warning to label; risk of chondrolysis

PATIENT LIFTS — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 14:31:23 -0000

As a health assistant, I'd like to share.Postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis is a condition that primarily
affects the glenohumeral joint, which is the joint connecting the socket of the shoulder to the ball of the upper arm bone. This joint working properly is very important to the movement of the arm. When this joint is affected by the condition, the cartilage within the joint begins to deteriorate, causing a number of symptoms and complications. The arm is no longer able to move properly and, as the amount of cartilage in the joint deteriorates, the bone and the socket begin to rub together destroying the bone.thanx. @KATE

I work at an unethical compounding company in Framingham Mass. They make money and ignore FDA warnings and break all kinds of rules. Greed is like God to unethical people.

Well recovery is indeed very hard. But the thing is you have to remember to not overexert yourself in everything that you are doing or the result would really be bad.

Re: New rotator cuff surgery method can help reduce surgical time, effort

Rho1953 — Fri, 27 May 2011 22:12:57 -0000

Yep, I had my traditional surgery six weeks ago. What an ordeal, the first month was really nasty. I had a massive tear of multiple muscles with ligament retraction. Five hours of surgery by two surgeons. But last week I spoke with someone who had their cartilage destroyed by a pain pump and has had multiple surgeries and a cadaver graft of cartilage an artificial joint. I think I got the better deal.

I wonder how old the man was when he had the surgery. My son was 17 years old and had the same problems after a pain pump used in surgery. I-Flow is now wanting to settle with him out of court. He has suffered and will continue to do so for a long time. Also needs to be prepared for at least 2 future shoulder surgeries in his lifetime........

Oh! Very nice information you told.Thanks For share.
A Personal injury compensation can also be claimed in cases of clinical negligence – where a medical practitioner has a duty of care towards you – and a different set of procedures apply in the event that you have been injured by a medical practitioner, or where children are the victim of a personal injury.

Can not get over the fact that some others have had the same type of pain pump used in their shoulders and have little or no use of it as well as pain for the rest of their life, and I-Flow told them oh well !!!! what is wrong with the state of Oregon's Court system and the Judge on the bench ??

Re: Torn labrum not necessarily career-ending injury

Sandra Hall — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 10:42:36 -0000

I note that the above entry was posted in July, 2009...I wonder why my Surgeon used the Pain Pump following my Surgery and repair to my torn labrum...now tied with 2 separate nylon cords..I have pain, loss of range of motion, been told I have no cartridge, my shoulder joint grinds/squeaks and I cannot do anything much with my right arm, My life style has been destroyed and I lost months of availability to work, and now back at work but with pain and cannot do a 1/4 of my normal duties. Taking pain meds every day, but they only ease the pain slightly.Why were these pain pumps not removed from surgeries when it became apparent that there was a problem with them. Sandra...

Shoulder pain pumps are just one more medical device that carry a greatly unnecessary risk with them when you consider that there are plenty of alternative ways to treat pain from a clinical standpoint. Don't forget though, that pain pumps are being used in shoulders and knees as well, and causing the same problems. Read more about that here...http://www.dgmslaw.com/knee-pain-pump...

I had shoulder surgery in June 09 and I had one of these pain pumps. I cannot raise my arm over my head and am in constant pain. My dr. just says sometimes it takes time to heal. What should I do to make sure it isn't due to the pump itself?
