You can talk to a lawyer and see. Most lawyers will work for a percentage of what you will get. but I'm not sure you will be able to sue. It was just a misdiagnosis. It happens all the time. Now if the treatment they gave you caused a bunch of problems then you might be able to.

You need to talk to a lawyer , in your state , who specializes in Malpractise and personal injury.
The question will be was the condition and symptoms sufficient that the diagnosis made was below a reasonable standard of care.
Many law firms will do these on a contingency basis. They get paid from whatever settlement you get. Its often up to half of the award.
good luck , malpractise is difficult to prove.
