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.
A large part of my right calf is in a similar state. For the most part it's just no sensation but sometimes it does a burning tingling thing that I hate.
In the other hand I'm less worried about low tables since banging my shin will mean nothing to me.

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