Phantoms

Funny sensation... and frustrating! I get an itch where my left boob was, scratch the flat chested area and get no satisfaction because it is numb anyway! Ya gotta laugh!

    How funny...I too got the phantom nipple itch!.... but one thing I can say, only 8 months since I had the boobie removed but I find that the more you massage the scare area the more feeling or less numbness. So feel yourself up or get hubby to do it..... that too seems a bit weird! but both my husband and I get a good laugh!  He still goes to give me a pinch on the boob now and then- I laugh and say it was probably better for you than me as the falsie didnt feel a thing!

  • Oh ladies its so nice to laugh and you have given me the giggles. Love the headlights and high beam Mel. I guess I may experience this too. I have heard that its similar to sensing a missing limb so naturally it follows when your boob is missing too. Thanks again for the laugh. Love Janey xxx
  • Yeh,I get that too.It's even less helpful when I scratch my prosthesis! I think it's a common phenomenon. Tonya xx
