I empathize and am in a similar boat. Did you wait until it was bothering you or you felt symptoms? Or did you proactively extract it?

Years ago my dentist discovered I had a resorption of a tooth root. She burned away the gum and fixed it. She didn't want to do that to the second resorption, so I went to an endodontist who was able to drill the root and add material to make it stronger. That tooth lasted 5 years until it needed to be pulled. Now that I have these new resorptions, I'm wondering if I should be proactive and have root canals before it starts to hurt. Has anyone done that?
