Your brain is in your head, Lutha. And your brain is what processes everything you feel. When you're missing a limb, the nerves where it's been severed sometimes respond as if it's still there because your brain wasn't designed to deal with a missing limb. It processes those signals from your nerves and feels pain where there shouldn't be any because it's not getting any other feedback from that missing limb.
If you mean it's not real, no. It's very real, and it's treatable. The medicine will calm down your nerves and adjust how your brain is dealing with those signals it's getting. That should relieve the symptoms.
