Unfortunately I made a bit of a mess of my leg so nerves were all over the place . They also try to grow again and because they have nowhere to go in my leg they grow a sort of fuzzy ball on the ends , those nerves start to touch bones, muscles etc and send pain out. The idea behind taking away the main nerve at the back of my knee in my last surgery is it would eliminate that but for whatever reason it hasn't worked. So the one they took away from me was the common peroneal nerve I'm not going to bore you anymore with this stuff but here's some info if you want to read it. What phantom pain feels like The sensation of phantom pain can vary widely. Depending on the person, it might involve: throbbing tingling or pins and needles burning sharp pain, like shooting or stabbing cramping sensations that feel like electric shocks Causes of phantom pain The exact cause of phantom pain is unclear, but it’s thought to be related to: Nerve damage The removal of a body part causes damage to peripheral nerves. This can irritate and overexcite the nerve endings, causing spontaneous sensations. Central sensitization Your peripheral nerves lead to your spinal nerves, which are connected to your spinal cord. When a peripheral nerve is damaged during amputation or injury, central sensitization may occur. This involves increased neural activity and sensitivity in the spinal cord, resulting in phantom pain. Brain remapping After a body part is removed, the brain redirects sensations from that part to another area of the body. This is called remapping or reorganization. As a result, you may feel pain in the missing body part when the nerves are stimulated in the surrounding area. Psychological factors In some cases, certain psychological conditions can trigger or contribute to phantom pain. These factors include: depression anxiety increased stress How is phantom pain treated? Phantom pain may go away on its own after several months. But if the pain persists, there are several treatment options: Medications The following medications are used to manage phantom pain: tricyclic antidepressants (most common) opioids nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs anticonvulsants NMDA receptor antagonists Medical treatment Some medical therapies might also manage phantom pain: Transcutaneous nerve stimulation. This treatment, known as TENS, stimulates nerves using electrical currents. Central nervous system stimulation. In this treatment, electrical signals stimulate the brain or spinal cord via implanted electrodes. Biofeedback. In biofeedback, electrodes are placed near the affected area. A specialist will teach you how to control certain functions in the area. Other therapies for phantom pain In addition to medication and medical treatments, the following therapies may be used: Acupuncture. Acupuncture uses thin needles to stimulate certain areas of the body. Research on its benefits for phantom pain is still ongoing. Massage. Massaging the affected area may help relieve muscle tension. It’s also useful for managing stress and anxiety. Mirror therapy. This therapy may be helpful for certain types of phantom pain, including phantom limb pain. It uses a mirror box to reflect the healthy limb onto the amputated side, which tricks the brain. makes more sense now you said about the nerves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Bob, I can really relate to this....I still can feel my wrist, & all my fingers...stuffed inside my stump. I've woke up before with my stump feeling like I'm still riding....twisting the throttle, operating the brake, etc. Then there's other times when I feel nothing but stabbing needle-type pains in all 4 limbs...no clue why? I guess it boils down to being a human anomaly my whole life..... a.k.a. "Walking Scar" 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Hands are much harder to deal with imo Scott, I'm in awe of how you just keep on doing what you're doing . Is there any prospect of you getting a bionic arm or does your hook work well enough for you ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any prospect of you getting a bionic arm or does your hook work well enough for you ? Before I even got outta the hospital, I was quoted a bionic arm....for $75k! But as it turns out, Insurance paid for my current prosthetic/hook...ended up breaking the original alum. hook 4 times rebuilding a 5ltr. V8 that I put in my old truck. So I ponied up $345 for the current stainless steel hook, which works pretty well for most everything. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Too right Scott . I know a twat from the enablement centre who tells peeps that his leg got blown off by a mine in the Faulklands, the truth is that he fell down some stairs when he was pissed . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
