In 2001 I suffered an injury a work to a muscle. This injury was reported to my manager. I went to a Doctor, he took x-rays, nothing conclusive. He stated that it appeared to be simple muscle strain. The pain continued to worsen. I went back a month or so later and was told it was possibly tendonitis, but it still continued to worsen. After years of many misdiagnosis and near disability, due to the fact I could no longer lift my leg, my new Doctor finally set me up for an MRI. When the results came back, it revealed a rare tumor infesting the muscle. My Doctor informed me that this type to tumor is a result of trauma. It took 13 years and 6 Doctors (many of which I requested an MRI but was shrugged off) to finally discover this painful tumor, but the statute of limitation to purse legal compensation is only 1 year in my state.
This injury has cost me my job, financial stability (bankruptcy), and my spouse and I were nearly divorced. It has destroyed our lives and my health. My question is, what can I do, if anything at all, to pursue this after discovering this new devolpement? I appreciate your assistance.
