I know something is wrong,now that my orthopedic has went back to Florida,he didn’t give me a lot of info pertaining to my shoulder,all he would say is you’re doing fine,pain should go away in about a year,”Bull!” My pain is worsening,I’ve scheduled another appt. with a new orthopedic next month,My body is slowly deterioating,The pain is affecting me all over!

had 2 surgeries,painball first go round,just had 2nd surgery in Jan.2011,I’m hurting as I type,This is the most horrible pain I have ever experienced.The pain is all over my body,now it’s shifting to my left shoulder,down my neck,across my shoulder blade,I can barely lift my right arm.Sleepless nites,too much vicodin,headaches,legs hurt,hands,ankles hurt & swell up,back hurts,knees hurt,been turned down by 3 lawyers,turned down 4 times for disability,been out of work since 2007,nobody is gonna hire me. I’ll be 60 in 2 months! I feel like I’m dying,my dr. is moving back to Florida,he lied to Soc.Security saying I was doing well,I can’t believe how he told that lie! I wouldn’t wish this on nobody,I agree with all the comments I’ve read,the pain & vicodin will make a monster out of you. We all should be compensated for all of this pain that’s never going to releve us,I don’t want no more surgery,because it only worsens the pain,my first surgery was in 2008,three yrs later,my tendon has torn again,I have throbbing pain everyday. The doctors only lie to you. I’ve never felt such sruciating pain in all my life and to have tendinitis too,that’s even more painful. All I want,is my life back and my health! I am so mesirable,nobody understands your “PAIN”

I had two shoulder surgeries on my left shoulder within 6 months of each other, the pain ball was used on both of the surgeries, yes it felt better for a while but now I hurt all the time, my shoulder pops and grinds, is painful to do a lot of things, I symaphize with everyone who had ever used a pain ball

Had rotator cuff, impingement, slap 2, mumford procedure back in November…. with the pain pump. Now, February and my pain is worse than before surgery. Limited motion and extreme pain in my bicep and tricep area. Suffering severe headaches, blurred vision on the left side where I had the surgery. Went to the surgeon and he gave me an injection of steriod, marcaine and lidacaine.. Gave me total relief for 3 hours and that was it. He said I have capsulitis (inflamation) of the joint. I have popping and grinding again. Went back and he put me on prednesone. Oral steroid for the inflamation. He isn’t listening to my tightness and pain in my bicep and tricep. Nor the headaches and pain in my scapula too. I now regret the surgery cause I have pain on a constant basis and I get awakened 3 to 4 times a night. I am living in constant hell. Tell me there’s a good ending here.

I had the onQ ball two times for my shoulder and the first July 30, 2009 and again September 25, 2009 the second was due to a ripped graphting jacket, I know the on q doesn’t even work the pain was terrible, as far as I’m concerned they could take them off the market.

My husband had surgery in january and had that ball in for 48 hour after
he came home and he called the hospital becausehis arm was really
herting and swelling but they sed just put ice on it, he did and it stayed like that for days.
His arm today is still not the same.
Would you beleave they had him take the ball out him self,
My husband all most passed out on me.
Could his pain and not being able to move it that far be do to that ball.

I had surgery on June 3, 2009, a slap repair and some other things done to my shoulder. They put in the pain ball, I have had problems with my recovery, lots of clicking and popping, scar tissue is building up already and causing pain. I don’t know how long this recovery is supposed to be but it is very painful, I realize I am only about 12 – 13 weeks post op, but I have never experienced pain like this, it extends from my traps, in my neck down to my pectoral muscles, even under my arm. My concern is that this was a work related injury and if I am released by the doctor and there are any other problems because of this pain ball I will be stuck with the bill.

I started having pain in my left shoulder back in 2005. I went to a orthapedic and he determined that my shoulder and my clavical bone was hitting each other when I moved it. Keep in mind that I am a city bus driver and drive for 8-10 hours straight each day.I also told him that that I felt a pain in the left side of my neck at the same time. This pain is constant but varies mild to very painful and when the pain mild I still have full range of motion and when it is stroner it makes my muscle running along my neck and shoulder to tighen. He gave me several shots of coritzone but still no relief. Then he did surgey and thought if he cut off the hook on my clavical bone should do it. I continued to have the same pame and some new ones now. Now I was beginning to have bad headaches and popping in the shoulder along with stiffness and loss of strenghn. I went back to the doctor and he said he didn’t know what was going on and that he could no longer help me.Because this was an L & I claim I’m having trouble finding a doctor who is willing to take my case on. Is the pain pump something that the doctor notifies you on before hand? because in recent x-rays the radiologists noted problems in my bicep area and in a clavical bone scan found irrataion on my left side. Like everyone else on this page I too feel helpless but know I am not imaging it and it effects my everyday life.
