(With no explanation as to why & what happened) A nurse made me get up & walk but more of a pull that night . I was told “everyone is to get up & walk after this procedure.When she was putting me to bed she pushed down on my shoulders & I felt something pop . In which the next day I was in so much pain I was yelling for help. & felt another pop & urinated myself bc of the pain.

It is hard to determine what happened during the surgery but certainly seems worth investigating.  You should obtain your complete medical records so that they can be presented to an expert for review to determine if there is merit to filing a lawsuit.
