More details to this question:
In march 2014 I went to my dr. With a fibroid mass on the bottom of my foot. He completed a surgery for removal of the fibroid. By May it was evident the scar tissue from the incision was twice as large as the original mass. He advised to have it removed as I stand and walk for 10-14 hours per day for my job. The scar tissue area is very painful. The scar tissue is now even larger and more painful . I now have no feeling in the bottom of my foot. I cannot work until I am able to stand and walk on my foot for a longer period of time. The doctor said that he has only seen this happen a couple of time in the past eight years.

Possibly. You'll need to get a medical opinion as to whether this was the resilt of malpractice or a know complication. A bad result alone does not give rise to a medical malpractice case unfortunately, so you have to clearly distinguish that type of issue.
