Answers:
You have gone through the worst of it. The prep work and the root canal and wearing that temporary crown is where you experience the most discomfort. As long as your crown is set correctly, you should not have much pain or discomfort. When they ask you to bite down to test the fit, make sure you are comfortable with the fit b/c the crown will permanently set in that position.
