After one of your limbs is amputated, you may feel as if the limb is still there. This is called phantom sensation. You may feel: Pain in your limb even though it is physically not there.
It's not your leg that will hurt but the nerve in your leg that'll hurt. So wherever the leg is cut, the nerves must be cut as well, but another thing is when one of your limbs is amputated, you may feel like the limb is still there. That's called phantom sensation. You might feel pain in your "limb" even though it's not physically there.
