AlloDerm Pain and Soreness Lawyers
It is normal to experience some degree of pain after undergoing a surgical procedure. Fortunately, this discomfort should begin to fade over time. In some cases, however, patients may find that their pain lasts or even increases as time passes. In these cases, pain or soreness may be a sign of a serious medical complication.
Although AlloDerm is generally considered safe, some patients have experienced painful complications after receiving AlloDerm grafts. If you or a loved one has suffered a surgical complication and you believe AlloDerm is to blame, the AlloDerm pain and soreness lawyers at Williams Kherkher can inform you of your rights. Call us today at 800-761-3187 for more information.
Causes of Post-Surgical Pain
Patients may experience excess pain after surgery for a number of reasons. If you experience pain that continues for very long or increases after surgery, it is important to tell your doctor right away. You may need more effective medication, or you may be suffering from a complication such as:
- Post-surgical infection
- An abscess at or near the surgical site
- Nerve damage
- Surgical errors causing tissue damage
Unfortunately, doctors are not always able to determine the underlying cause of a patient’s pain. In fact, studies estimate that between 10% and 50% of surgical patients experience chronic pain after their procedures. Risk factors for chronic post-surgical pain include complications during surgery and depression or anxiety disorders.
If you have suffered an infection or other painful complication following an AlloDerm implant, you may be a victim of a defective product. Our AlloDerm lawyers can provide the legal information and support that you need as you work for justice.
