Damage Caused by Pain Management Pumps

Recent studies have identified intra-articular pain pumps as a likely cause of severe cartilage damage, primarily in the shoulder but possibly in other joints as well. In the shoulder, this condition is known as Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chrondrolysis (PAGCL). This is a devastating condition that causes severe pain and the need for constant medication. The condition may ultimately require shoulder joint replacement surgery.

How Pain Pumps are Involved

In a recent edition of the American Journal of Sports Medicine, researchers have identified high-flow intra-articular pain pumps as the likely cause of PAGCL. Other studies are currently underway to confirm these findings.
