He had a name for it and I was curious if anyone knows what it's called. It's a part of PN, but had a separate name. I even asked him to repeat it later on in the visit, but quick forgot again...short term memory is pitiful. I think it started with an "A"...not much help, I know I'd like to research more about it, but can't without the name. Anyone have any ideas?
Tactile Allodynia. It may follow the same pattern of other neuropathic pain, including being worse at night.
