Is it normal/possible for a tooth that had a crown then a root canal to still experience pain or discomfort?

Abby38
I had a crown & then a root canal a couple months ago. The past week or so, I've noticed that same tooth becoming more sensitive, especially to temperature changes. Is this normal/possible? I thought once I had the root canal, there was no nerves left to experience discomfort? The pain seems to come from the top & down into the tooth. It's also tender around the gum line & has been since I got the crown.
