Could I have a crack underneath my crown?

eggtart_prince
I bit something hard with the back side of my crown (top molar) and began feeling discomfort. I then flossed it and it began to hurt so bad. I took painkillers and saw my dentist, adjusted my bite, didn't help. Then I figured out that if I push the crown forward (or outwards) from the back, the pain instantly goes away. Now I can eat properly on that side, but still feel a little discomfort. Could there be a crack underneath? My fingernail gets caught on the margin at the front and it wiggles a bit.
