4. Sensitivity to Lighter Touch
Sensitivity to lighter types of touch that other people without the condition might not even notice is one of the most common symptoms that people who have allodynia will experience, and it happens in the majority of diagnosed cases.
Usually lighter types of touch such as someone stroking your arm don’t result in pain, but if you have allodynia, then it can feel like a burning or stinging sensation instead of the light touch.
Often this happens due to nerve damage that is associated with a range of different health conditions. Some of the conditions can include fibromyalgia, and you should consider yourself at an automatically higher risk of developing allodynia if you already have a related condition such as this.
See a doctor when nerve pain and sensation changes become a chronic condition needing to be managed. This is usually easy to do with some simple lifestyle changes for better management.
