Shoulder Pain Pump Lawsuit Consolidation Petition Denied August 19, 2008 AboutLawsuits Add Your Comments In an order issued last week, the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation denied a petition to consolidate all federal lawsuits filed on behalf of individuals who developed shoulder chondrolysis after using a pain pump following arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Over 30 lawsuits have been filed in various federal courts throughout the country against the manufacturers of infusion pain pumps and various anesthetic drugs, alleging that the devices caused the development of a painful and debilitating condition where the cartilage in the shoulder is destroyed. In May 2008, the attorneys for several individuals who are pursuing a should pain pump lawsuit filed a petition to have all cases involving the development of shoulder chondrolysis from the pumps consolidated before one judge, as part of a coordinated process known as an MDL, or multidistrict litigation. It is common to see an MDL formed when there are multiple federal lawsuits involving common underlying facts.

See if you qualify for a hair dye cancer lawsuit settlement. Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION A special body within the United States Federal Court System, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, has the power to transfer similar pending suits from multiple districts to a single judge in a single jurisdiction for pretrial proceedings. Following a hearing last month in San Francisco, the panel determined that centralization was not appropriate in the shoulder pain pump litigation, and would not serve the convenience of the parties and witnesses or further the interests of judicial economy. “Although these personal injury actions have some commonality as to whether shoulder pain pumps and/or the anesthetic drugs used in those pumps cause glenohumeral chondrolysis, an indeterminate number of different pain pumps made by different manufacturers are at issue, as are different anesthetic drugs made by different pharmaceutical companies,” wrote Judge John G. Heyburn, II, chairman of the Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, in the order. Shoulder chondrolysis, also known as post-arthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis or PAGCL, is a rare condition that involves the progressive loss of cartilage in the shoulder joint. Research has suggested that the intra-articular use of shoulder pumps to deliver a combination of medications to manage pain after arthroscopic surgery, could cause this painful and debilitating condition. The cartilage damage is permanent, resulting in severe limitations on range of motion and use of the shoulder. In many cases, individuals who develop PAGCL require a total shoulder replacement surgery. At least 28 different corporations and medical providers are named as defendants in the various shoulder pain pump lawsuits filed in federal court, including Stryker Corp., I-Flow Corp., Smith & Nephew, Inc., DePuy, Inc., DJO, Inc., Breg, Inc. and AstraZeneca PLC, to name a few. At the July hearing where arguments were considered on the petition to consolidate, all of the defendants named in a shoulder chondrolysis lawsuit opposed the consolidation.

There was so much pain medication used in my first surgery I could not feel my lungs breathing was near impossible and my vocal coards were comprimised and was unable to speak for 10-12 hrs.Time for my second surgery i requested they not use it again but my Dr. assured me they would not use as much medication and agreeded that to much was used and that was why I suffered the side affects.Although my injury was serious I am in worse condition now than ever.My pain is constant and life is over as I knew it. Many Drs. don’t think about this as on going pain and continue to treat with pain meds cortizone and P.T. and get no where.I am at least happy to find some answers at least now we can deal with the problem.

Tom August 5, 2010 The doctors, hospitals and manufacturers of these products all knew of the potential damages and bad results from previous usage of pain pumps but continued to dispense and utilize these devices…there should be PUNITIVE DAMAGES…this has ruined MANY lives!!!!! Melynda January 2, 2010 Yeah well, I had surgery on my shoulder back in 2001 and they also added a pain pump. When the meds finished in the pump, my kid (who was 10 at the time) pulled out the tube that was in my shoulder and there was like 4 feet of tubing in there. Here I was a single mom with three kids and my kid had to be my nurse. Since then, I had another operation on there because the shoulder froze up and the shaved part of my clavicle for no good reason. I went through four years of intense PT to get range of motion back but I still don’t have full range of motion and for the past 8 years I wake up every morning with that tingling sensation like low circulation going from the shoulder to my fingers.

Laurie May 6, 2009 Late last night I saw a commercial from some law firm talking about this. I couldn’t believe it. I had surgery on my shoulder back in Feb 2002, I also was told to use the pain pump. My shoulder has never gotten better, actually its gotten a whole lot worse. Doctors have given almost everything to try for the pain, even anti seizure medications. They have all made me feel like I was imagining it all, I was nuts. I even tried a pain management center, with no luck at all. How can I find out if this degenerative thing is happing to my shoulder? Robert April 30, 2009 I had RTC Surgery five years ago and the pain I hav eis unbearable. I was given the pain pump, however, my surgery was open surgery. about a year and a half ago I had surgery to repair a broken ankle in a combined arthroscopic and open surgical procedure. I was given a pain pump at the time for the ankle. Guess what? It can ruin your ankle too! I am having surgery to implant a neuro stimulator on my spine to block the pain in the ankle.

Ruins the ability to sleep through the night! Penny April 28, 2009 I just had shoulder surgery in Jnauary 2009. Almost immediately I have been experiencing these same side effects you all are describing. The pain is worse now then before the surgery. The grinding and popping are almost imbearable!
