That might be another piece of paperwork that could have clues , or general info that is needed. Not sure if hospital and dr office has those , I'd check hospital first.
Perhaps make a time line of sx pre surgery & post surgery and as best as you can dates of those.
How long after the surgery did the new sx begin?
But perhaps a call to some malpractice attys will give better guidance and what is needed for a possible claim.

Right out of surgery I woke up and the top of my foot was numb and my leg was in extreme pain and I could barely move it. There is no question the nerve damage is from the surgery. I know it's hard to prove malpractice and I really don't want to make this a legal issue but I'm most likely going to lose my job over this and the pain is so bad I don't know if there is any type of work I can do anymore.
