In this episode of Health411, host Dr. Jonathan Karp and producer Daniel Geller discuss the concept of "Phantom Limb Pain". Essentially, this is when people who have recently had a limb amputated feel real pain in the (now removed) limb. Why does this occur? What sort of neuroanatomy does it rely on? Can we "reorganize" the brain as a treatment to this ailment? All of these topics (and more) are discussed in this episode.
