Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain Post A Below Knee Amputation Surgery
I had a below knee amputation 3 weeks ago and the phantom pain is almost more than I can take. I thought having the amputation would make life better, but now I m not so sure. Pain medicine does not seem to touch it. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

Hello,
Biofeedback and acupuncture may help. Also, this type of pain often decreases with time, but you need to get some treatment as soon as possible to get some relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kathy Robinson
