Before I had my root canal treatment I was in a huge amount of pain. The actual procedure however was absolutely fine and no more painful than an ordinary filling.
You are probably having a root canal because the pulp tissue inside the tooth is dying or dead. The good thing for you is that dead nerves cannot transmit pain. With my root canal, because the tooth had totally died, I had no pain relief at all: my dentist was able to drill out the entire inside of my tooth without my needing any injections at all.
Dental work is never pleasant, but I wouldn't worry any more than normal about this particular type of treatment, as it may well be no worse than a normal filling. Talk to your dentist beforehand about what is going to happen (mine took several visit to finalise) and what pain relief is going to be around. If you are extremely anxious you can also talk to him / her about the possibility of sedation. If you talk beforehand and know what's going to happen, you should hopefully go in feeling calm and prepared. I know this is hard, but if you are nervous and tense it will just feel like it's dragging out.
All the best - I hope it's not too bad.

When I got mine it hurt like crap. The sedative they used was too weak and I woke up half way through it. Hurt like a mo. I asked if thats happened before and they said yes. Apparently it is the normal one used too!
Just hope you dont wake up. And afterwards it hurts like crap too! Like, really, really, really, really, bad!
