Is it normal to have a lot of pain, 3 days after a root canal?

October 20, 2013
Asked By:Tasha009

Root canal procedure was done in two visits, through an existing crown. After the procedure, I was told the crown could not be saved. I had very little discomfort. Ten days I went back to finish the root canal on Friday am, it is now Sunday pm. I am experiencing a lot of discomfort. The pain followed the jawline, and now it's a dull ache. Should the crown have been removed first.
