I had a root canal (after several extractions) 3 weeks ago. The treated tooth continually throbs. It has been x-rayed and thoroughly evaluated with no signs of infection, etc. The dentist thinks the pain might be referred from an extraction site that is painful to the touch with a bit of bone pushing it's way out. (Other extraction sites healed/painless.) We're going to try ultram for the pain. I've never taken ultram and have no idea what to expect. I'm also deeply concerned about the treated tooth. I'd hate to pull it after spending all the money to have it treated but it feels like there is a closed fist inside the tooth trying to open and I'm losing my mind. I could really use any kind of feedback whatsoever!

Thanks!
