Hello all,
A friend of mine has a pain problem in his wrist, not from amputation, but from an operation. He describes the pain as a chronically bad toothache. The pain is there all the time, cold weather, air conditioning, and wind make it worse. He has been dealing with this for 10 years easy and is getting 'tired' of it. I saw a show on PBS about a doctor that was using a 'Mirror Box' for patients dealing with phantom pain due to amputation. I want to apply this method to my friends condition and would like information on how to create a Mirror Box. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
