Phantom Limb Syndrome Colville
While it may seem unreal, following amputation, most amputees report feeling the missing limb, often describing these feelings as incredibly painful. This condition is called “Phantom limb syndrome.” The pain usually feels like burning, twisting, or cramping. The exact cause of phantom limb syndrome is unknown, though the sensations are a result of the brain’s attempts to reorganize signals and rewire itself to adjust to the body’s changes.
What Are The Symptoms of Phantom Limb Syndrome?
Phantom limb syndrome may cause other sensations, including:
- Shooting, stabbing, piercing, or burning pain
- Pressure and feeling of wearing clothing/jewelry
- The limb still working normally
- Numbness, tickling, or cramping
How Can Our physicians Help With Phantom Limb Syndrome?
Experts do not know why this phantom sensation happens, though many experts believe that the nerves that supply feeling to the missing part of your limb can still function. They just exist higher up in the remaining part of the limb. This function could be causing your brain to go haywire because it does not know how to interpret signals from these nerves. Phantom Limb Syndrome may occur from spinal injuries or peripheral nerve injuries, which may cause symptoms to arise if they are not addressed quickly.

When I started this adventure with Monumental Health and Wellness I was literally in pain from my head to my ankles. Getting up out of a chair and trying to walk was very difficult for me. I went to Monumental and they evaluated me and put me on a program. It has been just a little over 2 months and I can stand out of the chair and walk without waiting for the pain to lessen and my legs to work. My pain level is gone down tremendously. I used to not be able to walk around the block without being in a lot of pain by the time I got home. I can now walk 2 miles. Everyone there is so polite and you can tell that they truly care about you and your well-being.I thank my God and Monumental Health and Wellness for all that they have done for me. I would recommend this to place to anybody who is in pain and needs help.
