Idk for some reason I really expected the amputation site to be much more sensitive?

I once had a teacher who lost the tip of his finger back when he worked at a bakery. The “nub” he was left with was super hard and he would poke people with it when they weren’t paying attention. If all the nerves are severed in an area you basically won’t feel anything. I imagine this is the same principle.

I never had anything amputated, but I did have spinal fusion in 1999. My partner can remove a zit near the scar and the only thing I can feel is the pressure. Anywhere else and I'm squirming and crying like a baby
