I have never seen a hammer toe repair work over the long term. But, I never

heard of tingling pain, either. Nerves can heal over time.

My aunt had it done and was sorry she bothered. Ultimately, she found a

Reebok tennis shoe worked best after months of fighting it.

You could consult a lawyer for free to see if you have a case. However bear in

mind that you would have to demonstrate malpractice. Every surgery has risks.

Unless you can show that something the doctor did was so inappropriate that it

caused permanent damage where there should not have been any, you don't have a

case.

The tremors if a side effect from the medication can be countered with anti

Parkinson medications. Have they tried you on neurotin? How about an opioid

pain med?

If you feel that the doctor really messed up, I would pursue it. But if it a

sad consequence of the surgery, remember that no amount of money is going to

stop the pain.

Have they suggested any physical therapy or something else?

Hopefully the nerves will quiet done as the body heals. I had a lot of nerve

pain after my carpel tunnel release due the length of time I had to wait until

the insurance would authorize surgery. It took six months for it to quiet down.

I wish I could tell you something more helpful. I am so sorry to hear that you

are in that much pain. I get times where parts of my body feel that way. My

clothes rubbing sending huge pain signals. So I can understand how you feel.

Let us know how you are making out. Huge very gentle hugs, Tami :)

Sue,

I am going to share something personal here to show how difficult it is to sue

doctors. I had four sets of ruptured breast implants while all the time I was

told they were safe etc, etc, etc.

I had a breast wall defect and did not do it to be " sexy " , it is sometimes known

as " pigeon breasted " . One rupture, I had a hole under the fold of a breast with

green junk seeping out and I had to weat a kotex in my bra with only one breast

which I felt I had a mastectomy. Then they said they are going to put them under

the muscle and I had extensive scarring. All the time, I was asking for them to

be taken out.

We moved around in the military and my plastic surgeon in Dallas was a top

surgeon and thought I would be depressed if I took them out. Dr. , a

plastic surgeon and researcher told me that he believes they do cause auto

immune problems as other things are placed inside the body and it may take years

to manifest.

I became very aware of this when I as a medical supply officer saw two IV bags

with green fungal strands growing inside the bags and that is what could happen

with implants, they are permeable and even the containers are made of silicone !

The doctors would say with the saline, oh, this is not silicone but the outside

of the implant was made of silicone! What dummies they thought the women were

that said there were problems with them.

Because of the women who had problems, the doctors said only one percent when it

was more like fifty five per cent with contractions and problems, the companies

had to put in the literature and patients sign they acknowledge the lifetime is

ten years for implants (3 M, dow corning). I demanded mine out when I had a rash

start across my chest and I was told I have atypical connective tissue disease.

Well with this information documented and more, I selected one of the top

malpractice doctors in Texas who was a Doctor and Lawyer and he said that you

have to prove " standard of care " was violated and anyone who has had to give a

deposition or testify for someone else knows how lawyers will cut you down. Such

as " Well you signed the consent didn't you, didn't you see where this is a

complication " on and on. I do not recommend a legal suit for anyone unless you

can get a pro bono (they do not make you pay unless you win) and go to at least

three lawyers with the specialty you are seeking litigation and the

consultations are free. Make sure you speak to the lawyer and not the legal

aide, sometimes a lawyer will do that. Good Luck if you chose to do sol

Also, you need to report this incident to the Quality Control Officer (Nurse) at

the hospital this happened and by law and the accreditation organization, they

have to research the incident and provide you with a conclusion

Good Luck

Bennie
