Phantom pain

[Petem56]

The morning after w2 r1 I was woken up by phantom pain in non existent foot, so when I ran w2r2 yesterday I was very wary of causing more problems so I managed pace a little better and no phantom pain to wake me 😁.Still winning at life.

Well done Pete !That phantom pain must be a really weird thing to experience 😐

Is that something that goes away in time or can it continue ?

I'm so impressed with your determination 👍

[Petem56 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

I don't think it goes away totally, but it has been reducing slightly over time with careful pain management.

My reply to Ian should give you hope that it will go altogether..🤞Sue 😊

The only time I get phantom twinges.. like electric shocks in my stump.. is when I have some sort of infection, so very rarely. I think it varies among amputees depending on surgery site (and possibly the skill of the surgeon?). I can still wiggle my toes even though they are not there..😂

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to PeggySusi]

Still wiggle your toes !That's amazing ... Must feel so strange 😯
