Phantom limb is the feeling that an amputated limb or organ is still attached to the body and can move along with other body parts. Phantom pain is different and occurs usually in those born without limbs or who've been paralysed. Both are caused by neurological cross wiring in the somatosensory cortex and can be treated with antidepressants, but that can be risky and really has to be on a candidate to candidate basis.
It's an odd sensation.
