Yes, it is normal for them to hurt afterward.
I have broken three of them since a lot of years ago and I haven't developed any arthritis in them. I just get some very minor annoyances from time to time. It is different if you have a fissure, as I did, along the bone, or get the bone cut in two transversely as maybe happened to cookiegirl here. For what you say, yours were also a fissure. Don't worry too much about it. Just make sure the bone has already healed totally. Tendons and muscles will be a little sore for some time more. Maybe later, if it really is somewhat misaligned, you will have a little trouble when walking too much, but you can use some little orthopedic pad for that.
Previously broken toe still hurts?
