Does this happen often?

I had to have a root canal my moler. The dentist said that I had 4 canals in my tooth and that they were all winding around the tooth. He sad that I would have to see a speacialist, But he was still going to dry to do the root canal anyway just to see if he could. In the process he broke a file of in my canal and couldn't retrieve it. It took me 2 weeks to be able to get to the speacialist. By that time I already been on vicodin ES for a mont becaus of this tooth. The speacialst ended up getting the file out ad come to find out I had 3 broke off deep in my tissue which gotten affected. Thank goodness i'm not in pain now.....But now im addicted to the vicodin. I haven't taken it yet today and I can tell that I'm feeling sick. What are symptoms of withdrawl (withdrawal)? Can I get sinus problems or a sore throat? I'm on atibiotics also.....so I don't think I'm infected with something......or can your tooth being infected cause this?

I think you should consult your MD at this point.
