Phantom Limbs

I suppose one has to call a Phantom Limb a hallucination because it is a vivid feeling of something which is not in reality there, which is not materially there. It is neuroly or neurologically there, but this is the case of many hallucinations. You have to know, a phantom tends to shirnk and sometimes become immobile or painful or distorted. The limb may contract, maybe come very painful. Sometimes the limb will shrink so thrust it may seem (?), right? And uh, it is very difficult to come to terms with these umm deformed and painful phantoms
