Tingling and Numbness
It's common for people with allodynia to also have areas of the body that feel numb or tingling. This may be caused by the same nerve damage that causes the allodynia.
This area of numbness is sometimes used by occupational therapists when doing rehabilitative therapy. Managing the numb areas can be less unpleasant than attempting to work with painful areas, and sometimes helping restore sensation in one part of the body can help decrease pain in the other.3‘Using Somatosensory Rehabilitation to Treat Allodynia.’ RSDSA, 4 Jan. 2018, rsds.org/somatosensory-rehabilitation-allodynia/
