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.
Causes of radiating back pain Radiating back pain is typically the result of a compressed nerve in the lumbar (lower) spine. The spinal nerves are responsible for sending sensory signals between the brain and the rest of the body. When one of these nerves is compressed or irritated, it can cause signals of pain and other symptoms to travel throughout the lower back and into the lower extremities, including the hips, buttocks and legs.
