More details to this question:
When I was about 9 years old, I jumped down off the steps of a slide, when I landed I couldn't walk after. I went to my private doctor. He just looked at it and said it wasn't broken, then had a nurse tape it from my ankle up to my knee for weeks. Now I just went to the ER because my foot/leg had been hurting. I have an old fracture they tell me. And nerve damage in my leg. I get frequent charlie horses. Also, my foot aims out when I walk, because she taped it that way. Now I have back problems as well!

Probably you blew the statute of limitations but your didn't post enough information and I am not entering a dialogue about this. You need to promptly take this up with an attorney to whom you will give adequate information.

The answer would depend on your current age and proof of discovery.
