Had a root canal done in may on bottom molar, had very bad sensitivity to cold and warm temperatures then went back and the dentist suggested we pull it because he suspects it's broken somewhere. I haven't had discomfort from it in a couple weeks tho is this tooth really broken?

Good day

On the peri-apical it does appear like you have a crack yes. This can be confirmed with a 3D CBCT scan. I agree that the tooth needs extraction.
