You could once again ask your Doctor to save the tooth , if not then you could take a second opinion from an Endodontist and proceed accordingly as per Him/Her if it can be saved.

Try to take second opinion , preferably by an endodontist this time ... actually your details are incomplete , which tooth , any history of trauma , carious tooth ?? Etc etc
And without X-ray no one can tell u .... correct treatment plan

Age is no bar for a surgery ..... if it is needed .... doctor knows better
Next Steps
Show to an endodontist
Health Tips

Rct might not have done properly. Go for second opinion with an endodontist. He/she will check your rct again and suggest you next course of action.

Pain suggests that infection is still active. Normally Surgery for endodontics is not preferred these days. Consult an endodontist to check the cause of the tooth not responding to treatment
