Limb Loss
An uncommon form of neuropathic pain is phantom limb syndrome, a condition that occurs when an arm or leg has been amputated. After you have lost the limb, your brain still thinks it’s receiving pain signals from the removed body parts.
What is in fact happening is that the nerves near the amputation are misfiring and sending faulty signals to your brain.
In addition to arms or legs, phantom pain can also be felt in the toes, fingers, ears, penis, and other parts of the body.
