Medical Study Links Pain Pumps to PAGCL

PAGCL occurs when the cartilage located within the shoulder joint begins to deteriorate due to too much pain medicine resulting in permanent shoulder pain and loss of mobility and for many the need for a total shoulder replacement.
The Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis (PAGCL) medical study concluded that PAGCL is one of the most common complication following shoulder surgeries, shockingly only occurred in patients who received a shoulder pain pump filled with bupivacaine and epinephrine during their shoulder surgery. In fact, these studies suggest that possibly up to 63% of patients undergoing an arthroscopic shoulder surgery who receive a post-operative pain pump have a high risk of developing PAGCL Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis.
