Root Canal Hell!!!!

Hi Everyone,  I need some advise, I am ready to rip my tooth out!
My problem began a month ago,  pain in the #24 tooth..  Dentist tested it and told me it needed a root canal.
She cleaned it out and told me to come back in two weeks to fill it and crown it.  Within a week the tooth became
sensitive to cold and hot so she cleaned it out and went deeper and took xrays and used a machine to confirm she was at the end of the root.  She placed me on amoxicillin and told me to come back in a few weeks to fill and crown.  My tooth was sore for a few days and then it was fine.   a week and 1/2 later pain starts I cant touch the tooth.  One dentist in office felt it was reinfected but my treating dentist said she wanted me to see an endodonstist.  Went on Friday and again he went in went deeper and told me he was at the bottom.  He was very rough and told me he was going to be aggressive to make sure he got rid of the problem.  It is now 3 days later and my tooth still hurts and my chin is hurting, I am going to call in the morning, is it possible to have another infection?
I have been in pain almost a month and I am losing my patience.   Any advise?  I can;t take tooth pain much longer.   Thanks!

Hi,

I would suggest you to go to one particular dentist and dont keep on changing dentist.
If changing a dentist then paraphrase everything properly what your previous dentist said.

yes,there could be an infection and better treat this problem at the earliest so you dont have to live with this pain for long
