I had surgery about a month ago and now all my teeth (upper and lower) are very sensitive. is this normal?

It depends: what kind of surgery did you get? Periodontal surgery to reduce pocket by cutting away the gums usually exposes the root suraces to the elements leading to increased sensitivty to hot and cold. regular extractions should not in general increase sensitivity.
