Good afternoon,
I'm sorry to hear you are having a toothache. To answer your question, yes, a tooth that has had a root canal can cause you pain. The pain could be coming from something as simple as a concussed (bruised) tooth so the ligaments around the tooth are inflamed, to a fractured root.

I hope this helps.
