When a tooth is luxated (extraction attempted) the tooth may be devitalized--dead. As it is an "anchor" tooth for your partial, even a "healthy" tooth that wasn't being removed can suffer from excess forces and stress of the partial. It sounds like the tooth is not healthy, and may need removal for comfort. That said, sometimes a "full denture" is a more stable than a poorly made partial.

I don't want to sound blunt or uncaring but not having insurance should never preclude you from obtaining a proper diagnosis by going to a dentist. It may be worth paying for an examination from someone (your dentist or someone else) so that possible treatment options can be offered to you. Will you pay for a root canal if that's what's needed? If you need to remove the tooth, how will that impact on your partial? Unfortunately/fortunately we often get what we pay for.
You need to go back to your dentist and let him address the problem.The information provided is not enough to make any definitive diagnosis.You should prepare yourself for possible extraction and addition of the tooth to your partial if necessary.The alternative choice if the tooth is not hopeless is root canal treatment ;that may be very expensive where you do not have insurance coverage.
The Best advise : You Must see a Dentist period, Unfortunately we as dentist can not diagnose and recommend you the proper treatment needed based on tooth ache, or tooth hurting. Having said that, I found it odd that your DDS tried removing your tooth, and realized he should not !
See another expert dentist, to give you the proper guidance, and do not wait too long since the pain can get worse. Let the good dentist do a examination and take proper xrays with your bite analysis, to guide you for the treatment you deserve.

The partial denture may be exerting excessive force on the tooth in question and should be adjusted. If the pain is associated with wearing the partial then this is a likely condition. If the pain has no correlation with wearing the partial then it may have problems of its own. Eventually the problems will manifest itself so keep seeing your dentist until it resolves. Anticipate you may need a root canal in the near future or perhaps just and adjustment of the partial.
First thing is, if money is a concern you can check to see if there is a dental school close to you. If there is no dental school close to you, many dental offices will let you make some sort of payment arrangements. You do need to have a full exam and x-rays to diagnose what is going and make a treatment plan as soon as possible because you may have an infection and need antibiotics. Good Luck!
If $ is your concern, there may be a Dental School within driving distance.
In any case, you need to convey these thoughts to your Dentist as there is most likely an underlying problem with any tooth that aches for "days at a time". The sooner you can do it the better it will be and the less infection spreading systemically.
