More details to this question:
I had a set of twins vaginally on September 29, 2017. When I went into for delivery, I got an epidural that was put in incorrectly. They told me to press a button to release the medicine into my body. The medicine wasn't working and turns out that the epidural was in incorrectly so he took it out and put it back in correctly. I went home and started feeling a pain in my buttocks that numbs my right leg down to the big toe. I literally cant feel the tip of my big toe. Ive been to the emergency room and they gave me an xray and a shot in my arm and they diagnose me with sciatica. The pain is so severe. Ive been to the doctor and they gave some nerve pain pills called gabapentin 300mg that doesn't work. They told me to take it four times a day well I take 6 to 8 and still have pain in my butt. What should I do?

You will need to have a doctor review your chart to see if there was some evidence of malpractice. Merely having a surgical complication does not give rise to a case. If the doctor says there was malpractice you will need to retain a malpractice lawyer. YOu can try t hire the lawyer first, but absent clear liability or catastrophic damages, most aren't interested.
