Allodynia is a condition that results from existing neuropathy...so typically, it would mean already having neuropathy that is causing the allodynia. That would explain why the usually non-painful stimuli hurts, but the underlining neuropathy is making the pain stay there.

This is why I think you should go back to why you went to the acupuncturist and address the initial symptoms that took you there. They are likely the first signs of your neuropathy. Do you remember what triggered that jerking and twitching? Were there any other symptoms that came along with those?
