I had a root canal done jan 3rd and was experiencing burning in my face for the weeks following. I had the tooth extracted 5 days ago and since have been in increasingly worse pain.
The pain started at the site of extraction and it still is very tender but then the surrounding teeth began to feel sore. The the teeth on the other side began to feel sore as well which I know is quite unusual. Ibuprofen doesn't seem to help.

Can anyone comment on this? I am scared that I went from a minor burning sensation to unrelenting pain. (Though it does get better at times for a short while and is ok while I sleep)

Scared I have nerve damage.
