PAGCL Lawsuit – Postarthroscopic Chondrolysis Law Suit
PAGCL Lawsuit – Postarthroscopic Gelnohumeral Chondrolysis Law Suit
Hundreds of individuals across the country have used shoulder pain pumps, but a recent study by the American Journal of Sports Medicine (July 2007) suggests that the pumps may deliver too much medicine, causing a serious condition known as Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis (PAGCL). PAGCL is characterized by a degeneration of the cartilage in the shoulder joint, causing a substantial reduction in the shoulder’s range of motions. PAGCL patients experience severe pain or tenderness in the shoulder area, shoulder stiffness or weakness, or a grinding or popping sensation in the shoulder joint. These side effects typically do not appear immediately but rather appear months after surgery when the patient should be completely healed.
PAGCL can be extremely painful and permanent. There is no known cure or effective treatment. Some patients may be able to control their pain and other symptoms with analgesics and/or other drugs such as anti-inflammatory medicines, but they may have to take these medications indefinitely. If pain medication is not sufficient to help a PAGCL sufferer, a replacement of the entire shoulder joint may be necessary.
If you or a loved one has suffered from PAGCL, you may have a claim. Contact us today for a free, no obligation consultation. Call Toll Free 1-866-777-2557 or simply fill out the Free Case Consultation Form online.
