Help...pain a month after root canal and crown

Just over a month ago I had a root canal finished and a crown put on one of my upper molars. The tooth had been root canal treated before but the filling kept coming off so the dentist redid the root treatment and put a crown on. I'm still getting pain from the tooth, not all the time, but a dull pain for maybe half the day, with some pain free days in-between.

Is this normal? I know I should go back to the dentist, but I'm really worried he will say that the treatment has failed and the tooth needs to come out, so I avoid it and keep seeing if it gets better and thinking I might go next week, but time goes on and it has been a month now...
 
I'd go back to the dentist, it could be nothing more sinister than the bite on the crown needing adjusted!
 
Thanks for the reply...I'll try and give them a call tomorrow... :(
