What Causes Neck Pain, Numbness In Arms And Vision Problems After Dental Implant?

Hi. im a 43 year old female. I had a dental implant that was failing and had to be removed. (tooth #13) The implant had caused me severe pain from the moment the crown was placed. I now have been suffering with neck pain, numbness in arms and hands and the worst is the vision problems. I have lost my depth perception and can no longer drive. My face still always feels like I have been punched. My ears make swooshing sounds. I have been for every test, CATscan, MRI... they all come back fine. The only thing I did find thru a D.O. is that I have no cortisol left (I have read that adrenal fatigue and long term dental infections go hand in hand). I m wondering if I could have a very deep sinus infection even though the CATScan was clear... or perhaps a deep dental infection. I have been take Kflex 250mg 4x p/day for three weeks while waiting to get in with oral surgeon. (he is going to assess me) Can a deep infection be causing the vision problems? or do you think the bones in my face shifted? my left eye and left side of my face go from pain, to numbness to just feeling strange . My left eye also changes shape a lot and sometimes gets very small. Thank you.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The loss of vision is not at all related to tooth infection, because the nerve supply to both the structures is entirely different. Regarding the numbness in the arm and neck is also not related to tooth infection. The dental implant placement or removal will not cause all these problems. It can cause pain after placement of the crown, if the crown has high points or if there is infection in the surrounding bone of an implant.
Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it ruled out regarding implant.
Consult an ophthalmologist and general physician for the vision and numbness in the arm and neck.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
