Default horrible experience!!

Hello guys,
Few months back, I had a c-section and was given epidural that didn't work. The doctor did the usual test and I said that I could feel it but he did this about 3x and each time I said I could feel it. With a tool, he pinch my leg and I said I could feel it. He said I should be able to feel some sensation and not pain. I told him that I could feel the pinch but not pain.

So they proceeded. My OB made the sliced and when it got to my right side, I felt the slice and a great deal of pain. I screamed, they tried to apply local but it was even more painful. I could feel each injection. I was screaming. They gave me general anesthesia.

Could I file for malpractice?
