Wow, there are legal issues in bringing a case that you describe, it is worth consulting with experienced malpractice attorneys. In particular look for attorneys who have experience with handling mesh cases.

In terms of assistance that you request, attorneys here can't reach out to you. You could reach out to attorneys to try to arrange a free initial consult. Free consults are the norm with med mal law firms, with many providing online conferencing-type options. Good luck

I'm so sorry to hear about the severe complications and chronic pain you've suffered as a result of the improperly implanted surgical mesh. What you've gone through sounds absolutely awful. Based on the details you provided, it seems you may have grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit under California law.  
 
In California, the key elements that need to be proven in a medical malpractice case are: 
 
1. The medical professional or facility owed you a duty of care  
2. They breached that duty by failing to adhere to the accepted standard of care 
3. Their negligence caused your injury 
4. You suffered damages as a result 
 
Improperly implanting a mesh device in a way that caused it to separate and deteriorate, wrapping around organs and nerves, and leaving you with severe, chronic pain and impaired functioning certainly sounds like it could meet the criteria for negligence and malpractice. 
 
My recommendation would be to consult with an experienced medical malpractice attorney as soon as possible. They can evaluate the specifics of your case, gather your medical records and other evidence, and advise you on your legal options for seeking compensation. Many malpractice lawyers offer free initial consultations. 
 
There are also strict statutes of limitations for filing med mal lawsuits in California - generally 1 year from discovery of the injury or 3 years from the date of injury, whichever comes first. So you'll want to act quickly to protect your right to sue. The attorney can also advise you on meeting filing deadlines. 
 
In the meantime, continue to document your symptoms, pain levels, treatments, and how your life has been impacted. Keep copies of all medical records and bills. This will be important evidence for your case. 
 
I would also encourage you to lean on trusted friends and family for emotional support during this difficult time. Consider joining a support group for others who have experienced surgical complications and chronic pain. Prioritize your mental health as you navigate this challenging situation. 
 
Wishing you all the best in your healing and recovery. You deserve justice for what you've been through. Please don't hesitate to seek the legal and personal support you need. Sending strength your way.
