My father was a very active dad, grandfather and husband! Ever sence he had two right shoulder surgery in both cases the pump was used he has been in so much pain. I would really like to have my father back to the way he used to be but after reading this article i now feel that he will never be the same. Can anyone really help fight these company and fight for what these patients have lost ???????????

I too had arthroscopic shoulder surgery in 2004 and I’m in so much pain now it’s crazy! I’ve been to about 3-4 doctors, neurosurgeon, vascular surgeon, but no doctor can seem to find anything wrong with it! There has to be something wrong or it wouldn’t hurt so bad! I did have a nerve block after surgery, but I do not think that’s the cause of my pain.

I had right shoulder arthroscopy performed by a surgeon from the Jewett Clinic in Winter Park, FL on September 18, 2007 which included a pain pump. To date I am still in pain and have other symptoms similier to those in your article.
