What can go wrong when preparing a tooth for a crown?

I had a prep for a crown done 2 days ago for a tooth that had an old filling and a dull pain on biting. Now I cannot eat at all on that side as the tooth (that has the temporary crown on) is very sensitive. It is a nerve like pain. I am concerned that something has gone wrong during the procedure. Is this pain likely to settle?
