What Is Allodynia?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
4. Fibromyalgia
There are several potential causes of allodynia, one of which is fibromyalgia, which causes the patient to feel pain in their joints and muscles. Fibromyalgia is not a well understood condition and a lot more research is needed into it. Despite the patient feeling pain in their joints and muscles, they will generally not have injuries or anything else that will cause pain.
Fibromyalgia is thought to be a problem with how messages are sent to and from the brain or the result of an inflammatory reaction. While little is known about the condition, it is known that certain triggers can cause it. Avoiding these triggers can help improve the patient’s quality of life.
