A couple months ago I had a root canal on a molar and it took about
two weeks for the pain to completely go away. Previous root canals took
a matter of a few days to be pain free. Now this tooth has the exact same
symptoms as it did before I had the root canal. Is it posssible that the
complete pulp was not removed? Any advise would be greatly appreciated,
thank you.

The symptoms returning indicate there is something wrong, though
exactly what and why I cannot say. You should return to the endodontist
and have this looked at.

To your own peril.
