From a Pop-Sci article by V S Ramachandran in the UK Telegraph:

    A 70-year-old engineer who has just retired confesses that he has had a life-long urge to have his left arm amputated below the elbow. He has the arm removed and feels much better.

    Another man loses his arm in a car accident, but still feel its ghostly presence; this phantom limb is clenched in a painfully awkward position.

This is truly fascinating and appears to make a lot of sense. Even more now, do I understand why I have always had this feeling there was supposed to have been something else down there.
