nomoreteeth,
Correct, the infection is always present in the rc tooth. It is irrelevant of how many times or how well the rc procedure is done... it cannot alter the bacteria inside of the tiny canals. Correct, the post truly adds insult to the whole issue.
Pain is not a real good indicator of a tooth problem as there is usually no pain until the problem has spread and become severe.
Buying time is one way to look at it... but keep in mind that the infection is progressive so as time goes on, so does the infection.
I'm sorry you are going through this... I wish I had better news for you.

Oh well.
