I felt shooting pain with particular movements Wed. way worse than before. My tooth didn’t even hurt before the canal after/before taking antibiotics- the pain got slightly better after wed But no better Thurs. or Fri. I’ve taken aleve/ Tylenol which doesn’t really address the pain. I have yet to get the crown. how long is it ok to feel like this when should I start to worry that this isn’t normal- also my tooth was filed down and doesn’t touch...

Without x-rays it is unclear if it is a soft tissue (gums) or a hard tissue (restorations) problem. seeing a gum specialist -- a periodontist -- is truly the way to go. good luck!
Hi! without pictures and/or x-rays it is impossible to know what caused the swelling. Contact your dentist immediately to be seen for an emergency appt.
