Brief Summary
Following arthroscopic shoulder surgery a small but significant number of people suffer severe postoperative pain. This study aims to predict which patients are at risk of developing severe post operative pain so that they may be targeted with a more aggressive post operative pain regimen.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Post operative pain level
Post operative pain level recorded on a VAS (0-10) at rest and movement for the first four days pots shoulder surgery. This information will be correlated with the preoperative pain threshold of patients taken with the Pain matcher machine.
4 days
Study Arms (1)
Electrical pain threshold measrement patients
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
Assessment of preoperative pain threshold using electrical stimulation using a Painmatcher machine.
Measurement of preoperative electrical pain threshold and self reporting of postoperative pain scores (for 4 days) on VAS.
