Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in California

Back pain due to injection

I was given an injection for a migraine headache. There was a little bruising where (hip area) I was given the shot. The next day I had terrible back pain and a lump where I was given the shot. According to the doctors my muscle bled when I was injected and there was some bruising and swelling on the inside too, which is pressing against nerves and muscles and causing the pain. I have fibromyalgia and the pain has be excrutiating for 2 weeks. I have seen doctors, am taking medication and I'm still in pain. Is there something I can do legally?
