Not directly related to limb loss - not at all in the video, in fact.

But I'm posting this here because I can't say enough good things about saunas for phantom pain relief: in my case, phantom pain manifests itself in the form of electric shocks and, more annoyingly, intense itching that I obviously can't scratch, and one of the only things that work for me is a nice hot sauna.

If you have access to a sauna or a hot spa somewhere, give it a spin next time it hits!
