Hi tyler.
It's a good thing she had that infected tooth removed. A cyst at the end of the root indicates that there was a long standing infection. I'm glad no one tried to talk her into root canaling it......whew!
I hope she can come off of the carbamazepine soon and hopefully her TN (like) pain will be gone.
Please do keep us posted!

She is still taking carbamazepine, so we cant rule out TN for certain, but it certainly seems like it would be reasonable to blame the tooth.
I'll keep you posted!
