i got a filling about 2 weeks ago on my back molar, when I bite down hard it really hurts but other then that I don’t notice it. Should I go back or just wait until my next cleaning? I brush my teeth regularly and use mouth wash every time.

Go back. If you were in pain before the filling, then maybe the nerve isn't recovering. If it was a deep filling, then maybe the nerve isn't recovering. If it was filled with a composite, ask for a redo in composite, or better still (for pain), change to an amalgam. Final possibility is a cracked tooth,
