[quote=Anonymous]I had a root canal on Thursday. As soon as he injected the anesthetic, I felt a golf ball size lump in my cheek. He said that it happens sometimes when the anesthetic pools inside the cheek (?) and to use ice for the first 24 hours and then switch to heat. As of today, I still look like a chipmunk with a nut in my cheek and I can barely open my mouth wide enough to get a toothbrush in. I don't believe it's infected, it's not really painful, and I feel fine other than my huge cheek and stiff jaw. Has anyone else experienced this who can tell me what to expect? [/quote]
