phantom pain disorder
Phantom pain is a disorder that causes amputees to perceive pain that feels like it's coming from a body part that's no longer there. Although doctors once believed this post-amputation phenomenon was a psychological problem, experts have now come to recognize that these real sensations originate in the spinal cord and brain.
80% of amputees experience phantom limb syndrome.
The limb is gone, but the pain is real.
