You have to bear in mind that the pain is generated from nerves in the
spine - and not nerves at the site (i.e. where you are numb). It is
just *perceived* to be in the leg, because the spinal nerves damaged are
the the ones that control sensation for that part of the body.
Personally, I get pain in my right leg (and some slight numbness) -
although the source of the pain is damaged nerves in the spine. Even if
I chopped my leg off - I would *still* get pain in my right leg.
It's weird shit - that's for sure!

What's hard for me to understand is that I have pain in places that are
also numb. One doctor called it similar to 'missing limb' syndrome,
where people who have lost limbs still feel pain in those limbs.

does have pain. I always ask myself how this is can be possible.
I know we are all different, but this is one difference I really
don't understand.
