What does pain from a root canal feel like?

I am a 32 year old male. I want to know what does pain from a root canal feel like?

A tooth may still be tender immediately and a few days after root canal treatment. It should be less painful than prior to treatment. Take Tylenol or Ibuprofen as needed or prescribed by the treating provider.

Sensitivity to hot and cold and constant lingering pain.
It is a bit vague question:
Chronic consistent low level pain, or throbbing pain which comes on during certain times of the day or there is stimuli like cold beverages or eating hard food in the area. There could also be radiating pain to the jaw or head
