after root canal pain

On 11-14-08 i had my first root canal, they said not to eat on that side. When i try to eat ( soft foods) on the other side it hurts too. Is this common? My side that I had the root canal done still hurts, is this common? They gave me no perscriptions or a list of foods that i can eat. It has almost been 24 hrs.

Post op discomfort after root canal treatment is common. It may take a couple of days to settle. In the mean time, otc pain killer is generally effective.
