Answer
Your chances at filing a medical malpractice case may have been lost because of the passage of time. You should probably see a malpractice lawyer just in case one can figure out how to get you some help.

Your only chance for some kind of improvement is to see a good doctor. You do not give much information in your query, but I suspect you have returned to the offending doctor. Go to a nearby Medical School Hospital and see their Orthopedic Department. They may be able to help you.
