Exposed bone: It's normal to be in pain. You should see the surgeon at once to have the exposed bone treated. Feel better soon.

It is not normal: I would recommend visiting your oral surgeon for post-op evaluation and treatment if needed.

No: See your treating Dentist or Oral Surgeon. By this time you should be well along the road to recovery.
