To be very honest you should not be having any pain after the root canal. If there is mild pain it is okay but after two days for pain to continue is unwarranted. Now the temporary crown may be causing some problem. Either it has not been made to the size of the tooth or it is pinching/piercing yours other teeth. Is it a bigger one? You also had some other work done. I wish you had given the details. Did you get any crowns ? Sometimes the crown is too wide at the base and that stretches the gums and causes pain. They also cut your lip. Please go to your doctor and tell him all these problems and ask him the reasons for all the abnormalities. You are rightfully worried. Don't waste time. Do it now. Good luck.

Yeh its normal, it can take several days for your gums to heal. Dont worry ive had a few of them and know what Im talking about. Ull be ok.
