Went back to dentist and all looked fine they said with filling. Long story short, was referred to a specialist and had a root canal done followed by a cap. By the time I had the root canal I couldn't hardly breath through that side of my mouth without feeling some slight pain. I felt like it was good decision and really didn't consider pulling it. Perhaps I should have?

My personal reason for having it pulled was that the molar was cracked. I had no infection in the tooth itself ( some infection in the sinus cavity above the tooth, upper jaw). I dont know that if it was not cracked I would have had it pulled. Furthest back molar.
Already done, dont worry about it. If in the future it bothers you I would consider pulling it if it was myself.
