Hey Vanessa
Your story does not sound like a root canal treatment. One of the disadvantages of the amalgam filling is that it is made of metal that transmit hit (and cold).
In any case, if the sensitivity/pain is improving with over the following days, it is sign that the tooth is calming down after the first filling, so it is on the right track.
Wait couple more days, it would probably decrease.
