    Interesting insights. I've often wondered about this.

    The brain thinks something is there when it isn't.

      I can imagine this being less physical pain and more of a constant state of mental stress, a reminder of something long lost and the fact that it can never be the same. I had a twitch in my hand once, it made two of my fingers (index and thumb) involuntarily twitch for about a two weeks. There was no physical pain to it, it was just so mentally debilitating that it caused a lot of stress and anxiety. It went away as quickly as it started, and right away I felt a lot better. I have been lucky enough to retain all of my limbs, and I can't imagine what these people are going through, it must be pure hell not to be able to forget, and adding actual pain on top of that is a whole new nightmare scenario.
