      Well, I still have both my hands, so no 🙂

      My feet however… Well no, I don’t have phantom limbs. Never had. Not everybody gets them. And I have very little phantom limb pain - which is a different thing. When I do get it, it’s either in the form of mild electric shocks, which are easy to deal with and possibly even pleasant like a TENS session, or in the form of terrible itching I can’t scratch that can last for up to 3 days.

      yes. what’s fun is when they cramp. and when the part of you that is cramping is not a part that is available to put up to a mirror to unclench. so you just get to sit there, since your MD believes you’ve healed. book says you should have years ago.
