Movement of a regular joint or muscle can cause movement allodynia as the skin and muscle flex. There are many potential sources of movement-related pain, so it can be difficult to determine whether the condition involved is allodynia, damage to the muscle, or another underlying cause. Neurological tests may be able to help with the diagnosis.
