Can a wisdom tooth growing in cause referred tooth pain?

Yes: Although, i'm not sure referred pain is the correct word in your case. When there is insufficient space for a wisdom tooth, it can come in out of position and cause pain, especially if the gum tissues are covering it partially. Referred pain means you are feeling it in another area. Mouth pain can be hard to localize, and wisdom teeth are no exception.

Yes: Uncommon but yes. Most commonly to the ear, head or throat/neck.
