    AbstractThe authors report the first description since 1957 of a lumbar disc herniation as a cause of stump pain. Most amputees frequently experience stump pain or phantom pain. The pathophysiology of phantom pain is not clearly defined; however, there are well-defined reasons for stump pain such as infection, tissue necrosis, hematoma, wound breakdown, bone spur, neuroma, and so on. During the differential diagnosis, radiculopathy due to lumbar disc herniation must also be evaluated.
