Dear Becky,

Thank you for your comments. We appreciate your taking the time to share
your experience with others. Please talk with your doctor about how the
pain pump was used in your case. He or she may be able to provide some
insight about whether or not this may be the cause of your continued
pain. We wish you the best with your treatment and hope that you may
find relief soon.

Sincerely,
Wendi L. Lewis, Beasley Allen

I had knee surgery in December of 2007…I had a pain pump inserted during the surgery. Since then I have had terrible pain in my knee. Recently I went back to the doctor and had another MRI completed. At that time they found that the menicus has shrank. The doctor has given me other injections since then and I am wondering if the pain pump medicine caused the shrinking of the menicus and other problems I am now having.

No Lisa the little plastic cathether is very smooth. Your lateral meniscus is very dense tissue and can only be torn by excess strain. Either your surgeon missed it during the procedure or it has been injured since your surgery. See a new doc.

Dear Lisa,

Thank you for your comment about the pain pump, and your question about
the injury to your knee. This site mainly deals with the issue of
cartilege damage as a result of pain pump use, resulting from the
medication being improperly administered, rather than the type of injury
you mention in your post. However, if you like, I'll be happy to ask one
of our attorneys to evaluate your situation and let you know if you may
have a claim.

You can email me directly at wendi.lewis@beasleyallen.com, and please
include a way for our attorney to contact you - phone number, email,
mailing address - and I'll be happy to forward this to the department
that is evaluating these types of claims.

We appreciate your interest and I hope that we'll be able to direct you
to someone who can answer your questions!

Sincerely,

Wendi L. Lewis

after using a pain pump following knee surgery, I had great difficulty removing the pump since my skin healed over it. I had to pull very hard. My pain has not left my knee and it is almost a year. A follow-up MRI showed a lateral meniscus tear which the surgeon said was not on my previous MRI. That MRI showed a different meniscus tear.Could the removal of the pump be the caused the new meniscus tear?

My husband underwent should surgery and was given a pain pump. He has never had complete restoration to that should and does have some pain and limited ROM. We are not certain what pain pump and meds were used as we do not have a copy of the medical records to date. What can we do at this point?

I also had a pain pump inserted in my left knee after arthroscopy and have had many problems (pain/swelling) including both knee's replaced since.
