Hi,
After amputation you may experience the pain may be due to local Infection or exposure of nerve endings or alien finger phenomenon.
You may need to consult your doctor, he will examine the local site and treat you accordingly. You may use painkiller medication like Ibuprofen or Indomethacin with Naproxen for to relieve pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
