They now want her to see a neurologist? Normal procedure? any one have any clues? The comment made was nerve damage or possible stress? Would this mean a mri needs to be done?

I've had a few root canals done then caps. They are all gone now and I have a partial where they all were. The teeth with the big fillings are still there, it's ALL the caps that the teeth HAD to go. They All got infected or broke off or both. I got septic a few times from infections up inside the root and had to have them extracted and still was sick for at least a month afterwards. Mouth infections CAN kill you. I had a 27 year old nephew die from his bad teeth. But his were all rotted to the gumline and abcessed. That side of the family lived in the woods like Hillbillies and I don't think any of them Ever brushed their teeth.
I've had the kind of pain you are talking about and fooling around with exrays and antibiotics is just a waste of time, it HAS to come out in order for it to drain. I know it's hard to decide but you are far better off without it once it has gone south on you. Rotted teeth and roots don't heal they only get worse.
Getting older is NO fun.
