dental procedure-serious muscle neck problems

About 6 years ago I underwent a root canal at the dentist office. Since that time I have developed problems that continue to get worse. My pain at first started with my jaw. They told me it was TMJ so I underwent some treatment for that. No help. My pain moved to my neck. Then to my shoulder, arm , wrist, hands. They suggested it was a pinched nerve (c-5 C-6) so I underwent disc replacement /fusion in Sept 2005.
It did not help either. I am still in pain even though now the pain is worsened because the neck surgery was not a sucess.
I have been through all sorts of tests since. I have been to numerous specialist and through physical therapy twice. I'm still in pain.
I keep searching for a reason that maybe the doctors are overlooking.
I keep going back to this root canal...that's when my problems began.
Has anyone had any similiar problems after a root canal?
I'm desperate for answers...any answers so I can research the possibility of what my doctors might be over looking.
I'm 47 yrs old. can no longer work or have fun due to the pain and agony.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you.
