You should contact an attorney to discuss this, it sounds like tit could be barred by the statute of limitations, but there are certain circumstances where the statute of limitations can be tolled. An attorney experienced in medical malpractice could tell you if your claim is still viable.

Statute of limitations likely has lapsed even if you use the sometimes applicable six year of repose. Otherwise, have local counsel enlist an expert to review the records and imaging studies to determine if there was a departure from accepted standards of practice which caused damages sufficient to warrant a malpractice action being initiated.
