What Causes Intense Pain In Limbs Long After Having Bilateral Amputation?
I am a bilateral amputee of above knee ampuuted both limbs from above knee 37 years ago now my age is 74 years--suffering from heavy pain on amputed parts ,previously usrd spasmo proxivon and got relief but now that medicine banned getting spasmo proxivon plus getting no action on me ,pl. tell me any alternative medicine to get pain relief [doctor gave me PREGABID ME 75---BUT IT CAUSES CONSTIPATION]
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.
