Subject: MS and root canal
Hi everyone,
I am a new member. I have a question concerning "how long" the recovery takes after a root canal removal. I am 53 years old woman. About three and half years ago (Aug, 2000), I had my first and only root canal on my lower right jaw. Prior to my root canal, I was in good health.
By June, 2001, a MRI and my symptoms suggested that I have multiple sclerosis. Two different dentists said my root canal looked (X-rays) good. I have seen several doctors and different treatments the last 3 ½ years as my MS symptoms got worst – until three weeks ago when I had my root canal tooth removed! Within two days of the "removal", I had a 90% improvement in my ability to maintain my balance when standing, my bladder control has improved, and the "sizzle feeling" in my brain has been reduced my 90%. I, however, continue to have a burning pain in my right jaw that, at times, radiates down my neck and right arm. I continue to experience numbness and tingling in both hands and feet. When walking, I will drag my right leg and my toes have curled up (I cannot straighten them). The burning pain keeps me up at night and my body will get very hot and then later very cold. My worst symptom, the nerves throughout my body – especially my hands – tremble or shake. Not visible from the outside, but I can feel this constant tremble.
Does anyone know if and how long it may take for me to see improvements in my other symptoms? Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms from a root canal? Does anyone have suggestions how I may speed up my recovery?
Thanks, Rose RoseJR68 @ msn.com

Rose I had a similar problem. I had a root canal back in June. Had really bad jaw pain, facial numbness, numbness in my hands and feeet and sometimes knees felt like pins and needles. I was admitted to the hospital and they couldnt find anything wrong with me, but said I had an enxiety disorder. I just had the rootcanal tooth extracted 4 weeks ago and now have bad jaw pain and ear pain and still have numbness. The ENT said the ear pain has nothing to do with my ear it is radiating pain.
GET RID OF THE ROOTCANAL FROM A BIOLOGICAL DENTIST...SO FAR IT HASNT TOTALLY HELPED ME BUT IT SAVED A FRIEND OF MINE!
GOOD LUCK
Helen

This is a reply to # 39,793Hi everybody, especially Rose. As you may already know you are not alone. I too had a root canal 2 years ago (the 4th in 10 years). After each root canaI have felt worse and worse. I know some are skeptical about people making this connection, but for me and my family it has been so obvious and remarkable. The last root canal was by far the most impactful. MY life changed profoundly. I have always bbeen an athete, and I find it very challenging to do things now, I too have trembling (especially when I lay down at night). And I have numbeness and tingling that just gets more consistent as the weeks and months go on. So I am scheduled to have the last root canal extracted next week and would greatly appreciate any imput on how to prepare my body for this. Because I have been diagnosed with autoimmune problems and my current doc thinks I have MS even though it did not show up on the last MRI I had of my brain he thinks I should have another of the rest of my spine because my symptoms are so like MS. I just want any advice anyone may have about heading off an autoimmune crisis because of the extaction. Ideas? And Rose my heart goes out to you. It is so validating to read your syptoms and know I am not alone, We are not crazy. zora
