Imagine this:
You lost your left arm from the elbow down two years ago, and you often feel as if that missing section of limb is actually still here, especially when “it” hurts — and that sometimes “it” really hurts, no matter how much you try to tell yourself that it’s just phantom limb pain.
So you don’t have a left hand, but you nonetheless frequently feel the fingers of that hand curling in with painfully gripping intensity.
