There is some support for this explanation from studies in people with chronic CPRS; imagined movements have been shown to provoke pain and swelling, even when the limb doesn’t move(6,7), and seeing the affected limb being touched can cause pain, even when it is not in fact touched(8).

She complains of foot numbness like she had due to diabetic neuropathy before the amputation. Interestingly she still puts appropriate reflexes int the artificial foot using the muscles in the stump.
