Bad chainring

My chainring used to be bent but it is starting to get worse. Can anyone reccomend a new one? I have:
TruVativ Touro Compact Aluminum forged Powerspline 36/50T Alloy Outer Ring
TruVativ Powerspline w/ Cartridge Sealed Bearings bottom bracket
Did the problem make itself worse just because it was already bent or is there something that could be bending the chainring and will bend the replacement
Thanks

I would recommend taking the bike into a shop and have a mechanic inspect for anything that might be bending your chainrings. Most likely the damage occurred during a fall or something striking the chainring. While you're there have them order the correct chainring for you.
