Had to have my left leg amputated last year and have been in constant terrible pain ever since. Was referred to pain management and given another prescription for oxycodone 10s which doesn’t do much for the pain but does help me get a little sleep. Supposed to be a procedure that will stop the pain. Now I just need to figure out how to get it done.

Did you do therapy afterwords? It sounds like phantom pain? Phantom pain is pain that feels like it’s coming from a body part that’s no longer there. Doctors once believed this post-amputation phenomenon was a psychological problem, but experts now recognize that these real sensations originate in the spinal cord and brain. Have you ever considered mirror therapy?
