I had a normal filing & after this it ached for days. I went to my GP whom gave me anti biotics. I went back to dentist who did an xray which was clear of cavities, infection etc. He was baffled. He did more 'work' & during this the pain was excruciating. He said Root Canal was needed & maybe I have TNeuralgia...After perusing info I've cancelled this & am seeing a neurologist..My opinion is that the Dentist has damaged nerves during this procedure. The pain is something I've never experienced & don't think I can live like this. Any advice I'd appreciate.

    I have Trigeminal Neuralgia & see a neurologist. I'm on Tegretol. I get bad facial & head shocks. Recently I started getting brain shocks that feel deadly. The dentist said root canal. Yesterday the dentist stuck the needle in to numb me, and I started having bad shock to my brain. I was screaming & crying and could be herd in the waiting room. This pain is terrible. He started the Root Canal & said I will feel relief, but all night after the medicine wore off I've been feeling Brain Shocks that almost stops my heart. I'm making a appt with my Neurologist Tuesday.
