My Story:
Born in 1960s Mississippi we had lots of fun but the one day leaning against the guard rails caused a bruise like pain in my upper right thigh. Then a couple of hours later we were pretending to kick box with each other while jumping on the trampoline. One kick later and my femur just separated, and my leg was flopping around in very painful ways it never was intended.
After getting a ride from my Mom to the hospital in our VW Van which she drove to the back yard.
Then onto the Emergency Room for the waiting. Eventually I even got a shot of Demerol for the pain, then a bunch of X-Rays. A day or so later the X-Rays indicted cancer, so onto the biopsy stage. When the biopsy was taken, sent to a few different labs for analysis.
Unfortunately all the tests of the biopsies came back showing I had the malignant form which can kill me.
So onto the next step Amputation. My amputation of choice was a Hip-Disarticulation of the right leg. After I get healed up from the leg being amputated.
Come back next time for more fun and actual Episodes of the Pain Criminal .
A number of other factors are believed to contribute to phantom pain, including damaged nerve endings, scar tissue at the site of the amputation and the physical memory of pre-amputation pain in the affected area.
Agree, I have loads of all three you mention above.
