Can someone tell me what it is like to lose a limb?

[Packer]

Let me put it this way, you've just fell off a bike and ripped skin off your leg, then you get a broken glass bottle then shoved it straight into your wounds then banging it every few seconds to simulate your blood pulsing out.

I lost my toe in a pool and didn't really feel anything, but that was a clean cut.

That's easy. Phantom limb.

That's easy. Phantom limb.

Must be a really weird sensation.

the video to one by metallica has scenes from a movie that has someone in it who had his limbs blown off

Yeah he's a quadruple amputee.

I haven't noticed people losing limbs in CoD5. :o
Must try that out.

[Chriz]

There's also something called "phantom" or "ghost" limbs.  

This is the sensation of still having the limb and moving it, but it not really being or happening at all.

reminds me a damn hell alot of Misery by Stephen King, where Paul in one part still tries to move his missing limbs. Damn good read.

On Topic: I think you got your info from all of these pages...

Aren't those electrical impulses still going through your severed limb while going through shock?

[sir dooble]

I would really like to hope that if ever i lost a limb, I wouldn't feel anything due to shock. But it probably wouldn't work exactly like that, in which case, i would imagine the pain being so extreme, that i would rather die than continue going through it. However once its all over and done with, and i survived (If i did) I ould be jolly with my little stub leg, and wave it around and make people laugh, and little children scream....

I know of a guy who was in my school, He (For whatever reason persuaded him to do so) was jumping over a motorized lawnmower that was on. He unfortuantely didn't jump over it properly and lost numerous toes to a spinning blade.

If you got your leg blown off, would you still feel in the leg for a while? Like how when spiders' legs get pulled off they continue to move for a bit and chickens run with their head cut off. would the nerves in your legs work for a short time?

Pain+Numbness+Sudden drafty feeling= Lost limb

Okay, explain this, one of my friends mom got her finger cut off in a Walmart parking lot  by a vehicle backing up. On here way to the hospital she was texting my mom which is very good friends with here, she didn't have many drugs either and thought she needed more.

[Meekl]

-um...-


I think I went a little too far there...

yeah...

[Rughugger]

I lost a thigh before. I was really looking forward to eating it too. Damn it KFC for not giving me an extra one. :(

[Riot]

Here is a great one.

Tuck your arm behind your back inside your shirt, and stay that way all day without using it.
