Phantom limb pain is a condition often reported by those who have undergone amputations. It is pain felt in the area where an arm or leg has been amputated. While the limb is no longer there, the nerve endings at the site of the amputation continue to send pain signals to the brain, which makes the brain think that the limb is still attached.
Very often phantom limb pain is treated with over the counter pain relievers such as Tylenol and ibuprofen. However, many people have found that cannabis can also help reduce phantom limb pain. Cannabis is being used more and more to treat chronic pain and it can also help with insomnia and anxiety, which are the most common side effects of phantom limb pain. Here you can discover exactly which strains may help with this condition.
