I had a miniscus repair two weeks ago and have not been able to lift that leg on my own since then. There are two large scars and two incisions numb

I cannot tell if you "have a case" based on the description you provided above.  In order to prevail on a medical malpractice claim in NC, you will have to prove that the care you received fell below the standard of care, and that it caused you damages.  My suggestion would be that you continue to focus on rehabilitation, and hopefully the issues you are experiencing will subside and you will make a full recovery.  Certainly, if you do not recover, you should have an attorney look into the matter for you.  Good luck with the recovery.  -Jay Mills
