Could this be two separate legal issues?

Recently I was diagnosed with severe scoliosis after years of complaining and going to doctors in which none said anything was wrong. Only by accident it has been found. I found out though that it's been on my medical records for several years but no one told me. Because of having this problem for so long my body has become disfigured, it's harder to walk,breath,I have no energy because my muscles are constantly fighting each other to try and balance my body out. My right hip has pushed up and outwards as my shoulder droops down, my left side my hip pushes into my lung area and I have to push my hip down as I walk because it's so uncomfortable. I'm told I have to have surgery because my spine is severly curved. Plus degenerated. After studying my xray I noticed a strange shaped thing in me that I jokingly would say it looked like I had a wish bone. It turns out that it's a IUD. The problem is I had a hysterectomy 8 years ago. I told the doctor that I wanted everything removed.Since my ovaries were going to be gone I didn't see a reason to keep my cervix or uterus. So he agreed and that was that. How could I have a uterus if I told him to remove it? Also I never in my life used an iud for anything. I used birthcontrol pills.My first child was a normal pregnancy. My 2nd was totally different. Pain, bleeding, eventually the doctor said I was losing the baby but my body was having a hard time miscarrying. A dnc was scheduled and it was hell. The worst pain I can remember. Worse than child birth. I had my first baby natural except for one hour where the shot they gave me stopped the pain.The dnc I was doubled over. Two weeks later(aprox) I miscarried the rest at home. The doctor didn't get all of it. To this day I wonder if I really was losing that baby. I found out later that this doctor had several law suits out against him and he was known as the butcher. My heart sank. Fast forward to 19yrs later. During inbetween I always had female problems. Never did get pregnant. I was even put into fake menopause to stop my cycles because of the problems. So at the age of 39 I had the hysterectomy. I told him everything was to go. I was tired of messing with the troubles and didn't want the worry of female cancers to. So who and when was an IUD put in me? I don't have a clue. You'd think the gyny who did my surgery would of seen the thing in me. Theirs no reason for one, if the ovaries are gone. It's been eight years and I was told by a nurse their only to stay in you for one year. My regular doctor looked at the xray and is just stumped by this. Plus theirs no string. I guess its suppose to have one. I don't know anything about these types of pregnancy devices. I've never asked for one, never talked about them, nothing. So when I trace this down to who, when,and why, could this become a legal case? I was told I'll probably have to have surgery to remove it because it's been in me so long. Probably nothing major but still I shouldn't even have to be going threw this. So thats why I wonder about a lawsuit. For never telling me of my scoliosis ( i was told by the bone dr. that this could have been prevented if had been told. I would of taken care of it. I sure don't want back surgery)!,and for the iud thats been found in me without knowledge or permission. What has it done to me healthwise? This makes me angry! Sorry so long. Just need input of what others think.
