PHANTOM LIMB PAIN

Phantom pain is pain that feels like it's coming from

a body part that's no longer there. Doctors once
believed this post-amputation phenomenon was a
psychological problem, but experts now recognize
that these real sensations originate in the spinal
cord and brain.

Most people who've had a limb removed report that

it sometimes feels as if the amputated limb is still
there. This painless phenomenon, known as
phantom limb sensation, isn't the same as
phantom pain.

For some people, phantom pain gets better over

time without treatment. For others, managing
phantom pain can be challenging. You and your
doctor can work together to treat phantom pain
effectively with medication or other therapies.
