A member asked:

Day one: root canal on right(removed the nerve) day two: right arm and chest pain and heaviness day three: pain in right hip, are all these connected?

Most likely not : I in 41 years have never heard of any co relation. Your chest pain and numbness may be related to some cause other then root canal. Please consult your MD right away or even go to emergency room. Good luck.

Arm and chest pain: It's important that you seek medical attention right away to rule out any systemic issues. It's hard to say if it's related to the root canal treatment since I don't know the details of your case but it could just be a coincidence in timing.

Unlikely: I don't see how they could be connected, but everything is possible, you need to see a physician to rule out other underlying medical issues such as heart conditions that are more important at this time then the root canal. Please don't delay.
