Hello,
Sorry to hear about your extraction. While it is not common, it is very possible for the next to the extraction to have discomfort. While extracting a tooth the jaw bone is being pushed around a lot. This puts pressure on the teeth near it. This usually happens more in the back teeth then the front as well.
Hope this helps.

Depending on the surgery, and what was going on that required the extraction in the first place, that can be expected. If it persists, you should have your surgeon or dentist evaluate.
