   My uncle lost his lower leg/foot in a motorcycle accident. He had a prosthetic one. When we were kids we'd laugh because he would sit and itch/scratch his plastic ankle...he'd say it felt like his foot was still there and it was itchy.

    he should have tried ketamine
    
    

    I discovered a long time ago that ketamine and cannabinoids helped my phantom hand. I’m quite convinced these classes work by distorting body image so severely that you phase out triggers for the pain. I have experienced profound proprioceptive distortions after intramuscular PCP injection, as if my whole body were a proportional model of the sensory homunculus. But in a sense, what I feel is not hallucination or a distortion, I actually find dissociatives
    
    corrective
    
    , that is, they make the phantom disappear. This is not just an idiosyncratic response on my part; there are at least three articles published on the effectiveness of ketamine in treating phantom-limb pain

    Phantom itching is real just like phantom pain, its the nervous system misfiring.

    the brain is rewiring the nerve endings to the neuron structure of the brain. the rubbing of the plastic foot to the nub overtime is letting the brain know the foot is back but the itching is when irritation occurs and also for blood flow. when we scratch we stimulate blood flow for the nerve cells to grow back. or something like this.
    
    this is why over time a prosthetic can feel like the real thing even though it has no nerves in it, it's a virtual reconstruction that the brain will compensate for
