Hi,

It depends on what is causing your partial denture to hurt. If it is an overextended flange or unbalanced occlusion, then this needs to be adjusted by the dentist. Other sources of pain like pressure from the new framework.
You may need several adjustments before the partial denture doesn't cause a sore spot. They should stop hurting within the first week. If needed, adjustments have been made.
