I'm so sorry. What an awful experience. I have neuropathy (after dental work) and was told that those with certain illnesses like diabetes, MS, etc are at greater risk.

But it does sound like other things are of concern as well, like possible infection. And there is controversy about the overall safety of RCT. I'm so very sorry.

Who treats your diabetes? Have you thought about talking to your doctor about this?

You might also want to consult a neurologist. Don't expect the dentist to help you much or at all if you have neuropathic pain. Something simple like a tricyclic antidepressant might help if this pain continues. Hopefully, it is just a temporary situation.

Has the dentist given you anything to take should the pain become extreme, like a pain medication? If this continues, don't hesitate to ask!

My thoughts are with you as you go through this difficult time, Praying that it is not neuropathic facial pain and that your treatments will end this discomfort.
