I've got a friend who's an amputee. All the time she says her missing foot itches, she even says she feels like she can wiggle her big toe. Sometimes I wave my hand around where the foot would be and she says it stops "itching". It's so ******* weird.

Wiggle your big toe.

It's called ghost limb syndrome or something.

I think it's because the nerve endings there all still work for the most part, and because they're healing after having the leg removed I guess they're irritated so they send the brain the same signal they do when it's itchy.

Just my theory, I know nothing about this stuff.
