I just asked this question due to this friend of mine losing his arm and trying to figure out how different RSD pain is as to phantom pain.

Troy had his arm ripped off in a machine along with his guts ripped out. He has had 90 surgeries to repair everything but he is the most amazing person I have met. He has been told he won't live to be 50 and just suffered a heart attack a month ago.

I don't think it's the thing to do either for RSD.

When I watch someone like him that never slows down compared to me and friends I know with RSD, I was just trying to figure out the difference.

Thanks for helping me in understanding. I do hope you are doing better these days.
