Phantom limb pain (PLP) refers to ongoing painful sensations that seem to be coming from the part of the limb that is no longer there. The limb is gone, but the pain is real. The onset of this pain most often occurs soon after surgery. It can feel like a variety of things, such as burning, twisting, itching or pressure.
Nerves supply sensation to the skin and power the muscles in your forearm. Nerve injury may occur with trauma, however is more commonly caused by compression -- prolonged pressure -- in the forearm. These nerves are often compressed in the elbow and wrist joints, causing pain along the forearm. These injuries also cause tingling or numbness, and eventually muscle weakness. Nerve compression injuries may be treated with physical therapy, however severe cases may require surgery.
