Has anyone heard of the term allodynia?

Sooooo happy to find this group
I have systemic Sclerosis and have recently developed this awful condition of alloy IAC. Yikes! It started in my thigh, jumped to my arms then my torso now my back and everywhere in between. No doctor believes me when I explain the pain. I have to drive with my back away from the seat back because of the pain
I can only wear slinky clothes as my jeans are so rough now against my skin. Good to know I'm not crazy. Thank you all for your posts.

Alloy A1C was supposed to print allodynia. Lol

Oh and systemic Sclerosis is the new word for scleroderma. FYI

Just saw this thread, and haven't read all the way back, so forgive me if this is old news. If you get migraines, allodynia is quite commonly linked to those -- corduroy fabrics, for example, are very challenging for me to touch. These won't fix anything, but the best socks I've found to minimize this problem in my feet are the "classic" versions of the World's Softest socks brand (not the others -- only the classics): https://worldssoftest.com/collections/classics

Yes, I have it. I put Lidocaine Patches that are prescribed by my doctor, over the most sensitive areas.

You might try taking OPC3 from shop.com or MediNox Pro from select health.com. They will increase small capillary blood flow and may help with nerve pain. I take it for preventing macular degeneration. My neuropathy is much less severe than most people’s on this blog. I take both and have no financial interests in the companies. My best on finding help…
