3. Injury
Allodynia is commonly caused by misfiring of the nerves which interpret normal stimulus as painful when it isn’t, and this should illustrate just how much discomfort the condition can cause to anyone who doesn’t have it. There are many things and conditions out there which can cause potential damage to the nerves, and injury is one of the most common ones.
Injury can happen due to a variety of different factors, and might even happen during things that don’t qualify as large accidents or events – for example, damage or sprain from taking a wrong step.
An injury that damages or traps a nerve can easily be the root cause of experiencing allodynia. See your doctor if you experience any associated symptoms after an accident or injury: From there, the relevant expert can examine the extent of the damage and what can be done from there.
