Phantom Limb Syndrome

Phantom Limb Syndrome

Phantom Limb Syndrome occurs when a person has a limb amputated, yet painful and nonpainful sensations can still be felt in the area where the limb used to be. A non-painful sensation will typically cause a person to feel as if the absent limb is experiencing movement, contact with an object, temperature change, or itching. A painful sensation, however, may cause a person to feel sharp, tingling pain as if pins and needles are being thrusted through the amputated area. Recent studies have found that 5 to 10 percent of people with amputated limbs will experience Phantom Limb Syndrome at one point following the amputation. Phantom limb syndrome happens when the severed nerve endings are irritated at the amputated area. Depending on your condition, phantom limbs can be successfully treated through peripheral neuropathy treatment at Well Being Neuropathy Relief Center in Roseville .
