What is a Shoulder Pain Pump?

A shoulder pain pump is a small device developed recently to deliver pain medication (bupivacaine, epinephrine) directly into the shoulder joint through a small flexible plastic tube called a catheter. According to a recent study published by The American Journal of Sports Medicine the intra-articular pain pumps is identified as cause of a condition known as Postarthroscopic Glenohumeral Chondrolysis. Currently there are numbers of others studies underway to confirm these findings.
