Why do I still have pain after root canal?

[philtgen]

I had a root canal on #14 due to a crack. The endodontist said that the crack was bad and a tough choice whether to continue the root canal to save the tooth or have it pulled. I chose to continue the root canal. Since the root canal I have had a temp crown put on. But I still have some pain with chewing or liquids. If the root canal removed the nerve, why do I still feel pain? Should I get the permanent crown?

If you are still having pain when eating something cold or hot then it is not that tooth that is causing the problem.
