Has anyone else experienced issues with a newly implanted pain pump?

I had a pain pump temporarily attached to my shoulder after an in-house operation to clean out the tissue debris from my painful torn shoulder muscle.
The Vicodin injections led to yellow jaundice and I ended up in the hospital with a liver bilirubin count of 12. The normal range is 1-3.
After a liver biopsy and numerous blood tests, it took 3 days to bring the count down to 7 when I was discharged.
Be careful what you wish for.

Really don’t know what you mean by watch out what you wish for.
I’m no Doctor but have one shoulder tied down to my rib after they screwed up that surgery years ago. Had many Vicodin's in my life. Almost sounds like a Doctor is covering his butt. I can’t see how it was the Vicodin that gave you Yellow Jaundice. Sounds like you may of had infection. But, I quest anything is possible. Sorry for your experience. Good luck to you.
