The statute of limitations for a medical malpractice action is 2 1/2 years from the time of the mistake, so if you have a case, you have to move fast- you only have 5 months left to start a lawsuit. Much more information is needed: your original medical condition, whether the surgeon made a mistake and if so what, exactly, to what extent your activities/ life has been impacted by this problem, etc., but this does appear to be a good case.
