What hurts?: Most of the time when teeth are extracted, there is going to be pain...It is a surgery. The extent of the extractions and whether the teeth were badly broken down, infected, molars, premolars or incisors, upper or lower can often dictate the pain and how long. Sometimes parts of the tooth were unintentionally not removed and that could also cause persistent pain. See your dentist/os if persists.

Yes, You may be sore: It is not uncommon for discomfort to occur after an extrraction. This will depend on the level of infection and complexity of tooth position present at the time of extraction if any swelling occurs or if pain intensifies seek medical attention immediately.
