Any risks for pre-surgery epidural injection?

I had an epidural at T3 in 2010 and tye dr stuck the needle into a nerve which made my Rt leg fly up bc it had the effect of an electrical shock. Tye electricity flew down into my Rt heel, bounced over to my left heel then exited in my left front leg about 4 - 5” above my heel. Over the following Yrs I’ve lost muscle in my Rt foot and leg, and the heels of both feet. So now all my shoes are too big. Now, 221/2 Yrs later, my left leg and hip have lost muscle and it aches; my Rt foot has less feeling. What is so dishonest is that the dr wrote up the procedure as “no problems all went well”.
