Here are some tips on dealing with phantom sensation and pain. These methods don't always work, of course, and what works for one person may not work for another. Remember, check with your doctor if you have any questions before trying these methods. Wrap your stump in a warm, soft fabric, such as a towel. The warmth will sometimes increase circulation.
Poor circulation is thought to be one cause of phantom pain.
Mentally exercise the limb that is not there in the area that is painful. Mentally relax the missing limb and your stump. Do some mild overall exercise to increase circulation. Exercise the stump. Tighten the muscles in the stump, then release them slowly.
