Dr. Paul Grin answered

Specializes in Pain Management

See PMS: See pain management specialist for further investigation. The more chronic is neuropathic pain the more refractory it is. When a stimulus that normally is not painful (such as light touch) causes pain, the condition is called allodynia.
