Although the body part is no longer physically present, the brain continues to receive nerve signals that it interprets as real pain. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1412\" data-end=\"1446\">This pain may present as:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1448\" data-end=\"1589\">\n<li data-start=\"1448\" data-end=\"1468\">\n<p data-start=\"1450\" data-end=\"1468\">Burning or burning<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li
