The actual truth value of a statement is a function of the way the world is, or as philosophers say, of the nature of reality.. Since claims about the nature of reality are metaphysicalclaims, truth is considered a metaphysical concept.
phanÂ·tom limb pain. the painful sensations experienced in an amputated (phantom) limb, most often the upper extremity; typically comprises burning or aching pain, exacerbated by attempted movement of the phantom limb and by emotional stimuli. Synonym(s): phantom limb, pseudesthesia (3) , pseudoesthesia (3) , stump hallucination.
One example of neuropathic pain is called phantom limb syndrome. This rare condition occurs when an arm or a leg has been removed because of illness or injury, but the brain still gets pain messages from the nerves that originally carried impulses from the missing limb. These nerves now misfire and cause pain.
