| xObscurexOmenx | Synonym Help Needed I need to find a good synonym for "phantom pain."(Note: I'm trying to describe the phenomenon that occurs in amputees, in which they feel pain in their missing limb, even though their limb doesn't exist anymore.) I would've just found a synonym for "phantom," but "ghostly" and the like create a different mental image, which could easily confuse readers. Thanks for helping! |
| Random_Shinobi | Phantom pain is also called deafferentation pain, anesthesia dolorosa or denervation pain. |
| Ginevra | Synonyms for "phantom pain" Illusory sensation/discomfort/agonyIntangible burning/searing/itching/feeling Unseen tearing/scraping/scratching/ Invisible slash/gash/injury/wound I'm sure there are others...Now I'm going to have this stuck in my head all night. Anyway, hope that helps. |
