Living with phantom limb pain

Sharon had a lower limb amputation a year ago, but she still experiences sensation where the limb used to be. This can be very painful and unpredictable but Sharon is hoping this means her brain will be able to adapt to a high tech prosthetic limb in the not too distant future.
