So I had the root canal finished yesterday that I posted about last week. I have had root canals before and never had pain after. Well today the pain came. I can't chew or bite at all on the tooth and have radiating pain constantly. The pain is agonizing if I do accidentally bite down on it. My dentist told me (NOT the endodontist who did the root canal, but my dentist who just happened to call to remind me about my cleaning tomorrow) that it is normal to have pain for a few days after a root canal. It just seems strange to be in MORE pain than before the root canal. And it is NOT any better than this morning, I can't even function without loading up on Motrin. I would love to believe this is "normal" and will pass. Julie
