Hi,

These are the nerve endings which were cut during surgery which causes pain. Sometime you may feel that your limb is there. Taking tab carbamazepine 300 mg at night time will relieve this pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
