congratulations on starting up at the gym!!!
don't worry about the pain, it's normal... it's called DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), pretty much everyone gets it when they first start lifting, unless they're lifting really light. stretching does help to alleviate it, but it's late enough you're kinda just stuck with it for a day or two. don't force it to do anything your muscles don't want them to do, but it should not really be a concern.
remember, never stretch cold muscles... always do an aerobic warmup first!!!
