Intense radiating pain all the time since getting temporary crown put on, no root canal performed. Is this pain normal?

I have had a lot of dental work done over the years but this pain is by far the worst. It has been three days since getting a temporary crown put on. I have been taking Aleve with no relief. It hurts regardless of what I do all day long an intense throbbing pain. Does not feel too high. At the time Doctor said a root canal wasn't needed. I know it has only been a few days but I have never felt like this. Is it normal?
