Bad Temporary Crown? Should I be concerned I might need a root canal? How long shuld I wait till pain subside?

Optimistic999
one tooth crowned as the tooth was broken, temp crown procedure completed. Exp'd pain upon biting, on liquid diet for a wk & it remains pain upon bitting. Went back to the dentist and corrected crown and everything okay. A week later for permanent crown and it didn't fit. He re-trimmed the teeth. put on new temp crown and now 5 days later, temp crown very sensitive and still can't bite as it causes pain. Should I be concerned I might need a root canal? How long shuld I wait till pain subside?
