The soreness that you are describing here sounds like an ulceration of some sort and/or you could have had a small bony fragment or bony splinter that is either still present or has worked it's way out.
Sometimes, an ulceration will develop on the gum tissue over or near the extraciton site. This can be caused by a number of things but most often it is from abrasion or trauma from brushing or chewing.
Ulcerations in the mouth can vary in color, size and shape. They can be very red or almost colorless. Sometimes they have a white center, sometimes not. However, the soreness can last several weeks from one small ulceration. Sometimes ulcerations develop repeatedly in the same area making it feel like the soreness just never really goes away completely.
Again, without seeing it, I can only speculate what may be going on. Are you prone to getting canker sores or fever sores?

It seems like there is just a thin layer of skin over the bone and its sore.
I still dont see the connection between this and the biting pressure. I know when eating and your tounge is moving around and brushes against this area it is sensitive
