Spent about 2 months in rehab hospital on IV antibiotics. In May, 2015, fell and broke hip spacer so was removed. Now completely wheelchair bound as no weight bearing on left leg. Have tried to get lawyers but personal conflict with doctors who did surgeries, can't do anything because first hip replacement was in 2000 and can't consider because over 12 year since first/original hip replacement.

You have a statute of limitatons issue first and foremost that amakes the case untenble. The exception would be you spending an inordinate amount of money in legal fees to try to find some supe narrow expeption, but you are likely throwing a lot of money away just to try.
