Ask your doctor about gabapenten as that’s a nerve blocker and it really helped me out (amputee here) Its such a rough road with the phantom pains but I promise it does get easier 🩷

3 months post op myself, the thing that helped most was tapping / rubbing softly where the nerves now end to teach them where they are now. Helped even more if my partner did it for me while I watched because I couldn’t anticipate the pressure which made it more natural. Good luck!

Did your surgeon do TMR alongside the amputation itself? It’s been very helpful for me, I only get occasional phantom pains

I understand nerve pain. Some days it truly sucks. Finger tapping around the leg, ice/cold packs. Give different sensations. Contact your doctor about nerve pain medication like gabapentin.

you should definitely get on some sort of group page with double amputations because you have different things going on that people without amputations cannot understand. good luck

Suggest you contact your orthopaedic surgeon for advice and/or ask for a referral to your local pain team. I’m not an amputee but have chronic nerve pain.

A do :
Ask for referral to an amputee rehabilitation service or rehabilitation physician, ideally linked with a multidisciplinary pain service. These teams can combine rehabilitation medicine, pain medicine, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, prosthetics and psychological pain-management expertise. A multidisciplinary approach is standard practice for persistent complex pain. 2. Have the residual limbs examined properly. Not every pain after amputation is phantom pain. They should check for wound problems, infection, neuroma, skin irritation, poor prosthetic fit, bone problems and residual-limb pain. These can coexist with phantom pain and require different treatment. 3. Discuss medication specifically for neuropathic pain. Drugs commonly considered include gabapentin or pregabalin, amitriptyline and sometimes duloxetine. There is an important qualification: these drugs work for neuropathic pain generally, but the evidence specifically for phantom limb pain is surprisingly limited and inconsistent. They are reasonable supervised trials rather than guaranteed solutions. 4. Ask a rehabilitation physiotherapist about graded motor imagery and mirror-based therapy. These try to retrain the brain’s representation of the missing limb. There is some evidence of benefit, particularly for graded motor imagery, but the research quality is still low to moderate and mirror therapy by itself has produced conflicting trial results. So I would regard it as worth trying, not a proven cure. 5. Don’t underestimate prosthetic rehabilitation. Getting comfortable, functional prostheses and progressively restoring normal movement can itself be part of managing phantom pain. Expert consensus considers functional prosthesis use an important component of treatment. 6. If the pain remains severe, escalate rather than endlessly cycling ordinary painkillers. A specialist pain service can assess options including TENS, sensory-discrimination therapy, nerve blocks and, in selected refractory cases, neuromodulation techniques. NSW amputee-care standards specifically include TENS, sensory training and specialised interventions such as regional blocks and dorsal-root-ganglion stimulation as o

Here are a couple of suggestions: 1. Consider utilizing a massage gun. You could recline with your legs elevated and gently massage the tendons and muscles, starting from your glutes and working as close as is comfortable to your residual limbs, but not directly on their ends. 2. I found hypnotherapy beneficial in helping my mind and brain adjust to my new residual limb. This was the first time since my amputation that I was able to fully comprehend the exact location and nature of everything. For instance, all the sensory information regarding my missing toes was still present in my stump, and I could perceive their current position. It is somewhat challenging to articulate, but it was genuinely helpful. Additionally, medication has played a role; I do take several prescriptions. Even though nighttime can be particularly difficult, things do improve and become more manageable over time. Please be kind to yourself; it appears you have endured a significant experience. Massaging the muscles and tendons as high up as you can reach may offer surprising relief. I hope these suggestions prove somewhat helpful. Please remember that you are not alone in this journey. I understand the mental toll it can take.

ive been a lower leg amputee gor 20 years. speak to your doctor about pain management. also speak to the people at yoyr prosthetics clinic. there is a range of different meds that can help. the good news is this period usually does get better. I dint have any phantom pains anymore. although I do still get odd sensations.
