Oral health, nose ulcers.

At age 13 I had a root canal on my very front right tooth. I since I can remember, but for at least 18 years now, I've had a sore in my right nostril- it never heals. I am 37 now. The root canal I had done was done without any visible cause my tooth hurt, but I kept insisting it hurt so the dentist just decided to kill it. At 14 I had another root canal as I still complained of pain. At 18 I had the root extraction done because I still complained of pain. I had a crown done at that time as well and since than, although I still have felt theobbing pain (especially when it's hot- getting from wintery outside to warm room, or in summer, or after physical excersise). I just accepted it must have been imaginary pain. Last month I just went to get my crown redone. My dentist removed the old one and diacovered the tooth was black and blood was leaking through the canal. She recommended for it to be removed. The surgeon, after taking some images actually confirmed there has been an infection, but it did not reach my nose. The tooth was pulled out, implant installed and antibiotics administered. The throbbing pain and the sore in the nose remained. Couple of years ago I did go to the nose doctor but he said he saw nothing. I really believe there's some connection between my tooth issues and nose, it's just I don't know which one started first and where to go. I noticed that when I put a sharp pressure on the sore inside my nostril- it supresses the pain in my tooth( well now I know it's not the tooth itself but the area around it). It's been going on for decades and I really want this issue to be resolved, but neither of doctors see connection, or lime in case of my nose specialist- sees nothing. I also have a sensation of foreign object in my right eye for over 20 years and the eye doctors keep treating this with steroid Lotemax and other drops for allergy- to no avail. I have a feeling that once one problem is resolved - all will be gone, but it looks like I have to have a valid self-diagnosis before I go to any of these specialists. Please help. It's not something that happened a year or two ago, but has been going for over 20 years now. I would appreciate your help. Thank you.
