Female upper inner thigh pain

Allodynia is a rare type of nerve pain that is triggered by something that wouldn't normally cause pain, such as the touch of your bedsheets, the seam of a sock, or the warmth coming off of freshly made toast.

This pain type is frequently associated with fibromyalgia. Some research suggests allodynia may be associated with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) as well. Other conditions associated with allodynia include diabetic/peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia(nerve damage from shingles), and migraines.

Treatment for allodynia may include medications, such as Neurontin or tricyclic antidepressants, and topical pain relievers.
