My doctor did listen to our questions well and offered several methods, or approaches to fixing the problem. Unfortunately, my Phantom Limb Pain is such a huge mystery, that doctors (the many doctors who have attempted to fix it) are more-or-less, shooting in the dark when trying to negate the pain. Their attempts, however noble, were fruitless with regards to success.
