Should I ask my doctor to redo my apicoectomy?

I had apicoectomy done 2 weeks ago on upper front left toot (due to GP overfill that caused bone imflamation) .The root canal was filled with bioceramic root canal sealer during apicoectomy. The material got above the apex as it is visible on x-ray. Surgeon claims it is no problem. But i still have strong throbbing pulsating pain in that area. He told me to wait a bit more. Shall I ask him to redo apicoectomy and remove that excess material.Please advise
