Now I am feeling my second, most recent (two week old) root canal start to swell up. It's sensitive to touch (I haven't bitten on that side of my mouth in months, but I assume that would be painful) and seems to be feeling the same sort of pressure I felt in the first failed root canal 9 months ago (like a pressure cooker). I was hoping the second one would remain calm at least long enough for me to deal with the first one. Meanwhile, the whole left side of my face is numb from what I suppose is TMJ. FWIW, I've switched to a soft food diet in the hope that my jaw will start to heal as well.
Very disheartening evening. No idea what to do next. Just want my face to feel again, and my tooth not to feel. Wondering if this chord plucking feeling in my jaw is the periodontal ligament and if it comes out with the tooth.
