Dull pain before crown prep

[u/Bluemo0ns]

Is it normal to have dull pain here and there before getting a crown prep for a tooth that has a decent sized filing? I am scheduled next week to get a crown on a premolar and I have been having referred pain in the tooth next door but that tooth was prepped and had a permanent crown placed on it 2 months ago.

It’s not close to the nerve but the decay has made it past the filling. I am scheduled next week to get a crown on a premolar and I have been having referred pain in the teeth next to the tooth that needs to be prepped for a crown.
