Phantom limb pain is common following limb removal, affecting between 49–88% of amputees2. Onset of phantom limb pain typically occurs shortly after limb loss, although in some cases it sets on months or years later1. • A phantom limb is the sensation that a person has when a body part or limb has been amputated, but still feels as if it is attached. Many amputees have phantom sensations, which are not painful. It is estimated that 85% of people experience phantom limb sensations in the first several weeks following amputation, however, a smaller population of people will continue to feel these sensation for prolonged periods of time. It is reported that 60% of people will continue to experience sensations one year after the surgery (Manchikanti and Singh 2004). • Learn more - http://paindoctor.com/videos/phantom-...
