Pain before and after root canal...

[ambera397]

I was having severe tooth pain in a tooth I had a filling in 6 years ago so I went and had an x-ray 3 days ago.  They decided I needed a root canal so they started me on antibiotics that next day.  I went in today and they said I had a filling that had decay underneath it and the two teeth on either side of that one had a cavity from the infection of that tooth.  They did the root canal today but it took longer than expected so they put some other top filler on it instead of a temporary crown and they didn't do the fillings.  I am still having unbearable tooth pain exactly like before the root canal.  Will this pain go away or will it be there until the crown is on there and the other 2 are filled?  When will this pain go away?  I have read that if you have pain before you will have pain after but this is cripiling pain I am in...it's all the way into my jaw by my ear and down under my jaw bone by my throat.  I had the root canal to get rid of of this pain but it's exactly like it was before.  PLEASE HELP ME IT HURTS SOOOO BAD!!!!

Some patient perceive enormous amount of pain during root canat treatment, some do'nt.In general, pain will wane off as time gose by.For the time being, OTC pain killer or prescribed pain killer is helpful.

On my root canal for a bottom molar, I had to have Percocet, 10 mg for the pain plus
I had to take 800 mg of Ibuprophen to help relieve the inflammation and swelling.
