Phantom limb pain (PLP) is the uncomfortable sensation that patients experience from a limb that is no longer a part of the body. In cases of severe injury, trauma, or illness, an extremity, such as an arm, leg, hand, or foot, may need to be surgically removed. In many instances, patients often feel pain or itchiness from the limb that has been amputated. This phenomenon is believed to be caused by misplaced sensory information by the brain.

Symptoms include the sensation of acute or chronic cramping or stabbing pain, burning, itching, or throbbing. These side effects can occur weeks or even months after a limb has been surgically removed. Nerves do not stop sending signals to the brain, even when an extremity has been amputated. If you are suffering from phantom limb pain, contact Pain Zero in Central Ohio to learn more about all of your treatment options.

Phantom limb pain is a chronic condition in which the brain sends pain signals from the nerves of the missing limb. Previously, phantom limb pain was considered a psychological issue, but medical research revealed that this condition may be caused by misinterpreted sensory signals of the brain and spinal cord.
