Any solution for missing limb- phantom limb sensation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gabapentin: Phantom limb pain has been a mystery for decades. It derives from the brain centers that expect input from nerves from a limb that no longer exists. This type of neuritic pain will sometimes respond to Gabapentin or perhaps tricyclics.
