2 weeks ago I had a crown replaced on my upper right molar (#3), being that there was some decay underneath.
The bite is fine, but there is a good amount of discomfort when I chew on that side. Even chewing a raisin or bagel.
I have an appointment in 3 weeks for him to look at it.
Even though the bite seems perfectly fine, it does seem "high" on the inside portions of the tooth. Could that cause the discomfort? Feels like if I were to bite really hard, it might break.
I'm hoping it's just taking a long time to heal, but that's wishful thinking probably.

Anyone have a similar issue?
that's not uncommon, it just needs to be adjusted a bit but I agree with the other poster - you should not have to wait 3 weeks!
Just out of curiosity, how can it be adjusted if it's cemented in.
What Parnassia said, they grind it a little. Usually they have you bite a piece of paper and then they look at where the teeth are and aren't making contact. It's super common and no pain or anything
Same thing happened to me and the crown was too high and did not feel right. They made the tooth 2 times. For what it cost it should feel comfortable. It was a bottom molar
