What Are The Symptoms Of Neuralgia?

I have had a pain near my left ear on the back of my head for 2 weeks. The pain has moved up my head to a higher point and is a dull ache, it feels like a elastic band quite stretched and when I turn my head it crackles. I am having a wisdom tooth out tomorrow from upper left and thought initially I had ear ache. I went to the doctors on Monday and she said no infection in ear, perhaps due to tooth. But it has moved up now and paracetamol don't seem to help at all. Is it neuralgia, not sure.?
