Hi sir...
Usually pain after RCT uncommon..
It is due to so many cause...
**over instrumentation which cause periapical inflammation
**improper instrumentation
**some times bitting of the concerned tooth(It needs occlusal relief)
**sometimes pain or infection in nearby teeth also cause reffered pain in the Root aal treated tooth
**improper obturation may cause retrograde spread of infection
**improper coronal seal also cause spread of infection
First and foremost x_ray(IOPA) should be taken to evaluate the obturation
Next Steps
kindly visit nearby dentist for furthur consultation and treatment...

Hi
After crown preparation you might have slight gum pain which is normal .If the pain is more severe over the tooth and on time of biting then it should be addressed . Take antibiotic course and wait &watch . After it subsides then proceed with the crown.

Pain after RCT should be investigated. Reinfection should be ruled out. Do not get the crown fitted till the pain has been resolved
