Root Canal

I had a root canal almost 2 weeks ago and for about a week the tooth felt better. Now I am having the same pain I did before the root canal. I have heard that it can be phantom pain or that it is because I don't have the crown on yet. If anyone could give me advise that would be great.

I did go to an endodontist. He was the one that did the root canal. I guess I will just have to wait it out.

Phantom pain is rarely involved in root canl treatment. Crown is not helpful for post-op pain. Seeing an endodontist for second opinion is advised.
