Does pain after crown prep mean root canal?

Does pain after crown prep mean root canal?

I had crowns prepped on lower left side, 2 molars, 2 weeks ago.  2 days after they were prepped, I started having pain and could not bite on that side.  The pain is a dull throbbing pain that goes away completely with just 1 tylenol or 1 motrin (200 mg).  But eventually after 8 to 10 hours it comes back.
I went to have the bite adjusted on the temps b/c I thought they were high.  Now they are completely low b/c my other teeth feel like they are hitting harder now and starting to bother me on the upper now too.

Do you think I should go to endodontist at this point for root canals or wait for permanent crowns and see if it gets better.
Does it ever talk over 2 weeks for a tooth to settle down after prepping?
