Muscle Weakness
Conditions that commonly cause allodynia can also cause swelling of the joints, muscle stiffness and tremors.2‘Complex Regional Pain Syndrome - Symptoms.’ Nhs.uk, 19 Oct. 2017, www.nhs.uk/conditions/complex-regional-pain-syndrome/symptoms/ Motor neuron deficits can make it harder for signals from the nervous system to reach the affected muscles. These issues combined with people struggling to move through pain can lead to weakness in affected areas.
A doctor may ask a person with suspected allodynia to perform strength tests. These may provide insight on what's happening to the nervous system and how to help.1‘Allodynia - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf.’ National Center for Biotechnology Information, 11 Sept. 2020, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK537129/
