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.
Events that can lead to acute limb ischemia include an acute thrombosis at the site of an atherosclerotic plaque or bypass graft, an arterial embolism that originates in the heart or elsewhere, arterial dissections or aneurysms, and trauma. These etiologies of acute limb ischemia are worth a closer look.
