What to Expect After Amputation Surgery

Recovery after amputation surgery is different for everyone, but being prepared can make the process smoother.

Common post-surgery experiences:

• Swelling and discomfort
• Phantom sensation and phantom pain
• A surgical dressing and stitches on the residual limb
• Pain management and rehabilitation planning

Phantom pain is a real experience where you may feel your missing limb. Taking extra care when moving in and out of bed can prevent falls.
