That tooth needs to be reduced occlusally,,ask your dentist to do so and the pain will disappear.Also rinse with lukewarm water and a pinch of salt in it about 3-4 times daily.

take a pain killer for now. pain is a general phenomenon after starting root canal. it may last 1-3 days.
Next Steps
visit your dentist and ask them to trim the upper portion of your lower tooth. there is a possibility that the root canal treated tooth may not be completely out of occlusal level. rinse with lukewarm water and salt
