A member asked:

Can a wisdom teeth extractions cause referred arm and neck pain? the pain started about a week after the surgery when i went off of the pain meds.

Not likely.: The nerves that run to your upper and lower teeth also innervate the skin of either your jaw of your midface. Therefore, any pain in your arm and neck is not likely referred from the area that run to your wisdom teeth.

Possible: Everything is possible, but it could be just coincidental, check back with your dentist, and your physician, depending on the extraction and your medical condition there could be a lot of reasons why you have pain in your arm and your neck., these are not normal post operative symptoms.
