i had a woman who fell down the stairs and smashed her tailbone.  she couldnt sit and she was always laying on her stomach, so what i did was put her under and had her feel the pain concentrate on it

then i had her feel the pain a different way  the more she thought about it and concentrated on it the more the pain went away.  

knowing you cant take something away without putting something back i  also told her that she would feel something there and have no pain associated with it

just a  feeling something was there.

well she had to go to the doctor the next day and have it looked at

she found out it was infected and she had to have the infection drained

to her suprise she still had no pain associated with it and she was fine

so i would suggest

have him feel the pain as he does

and make it stronger in his mind first

then you can tell him that the more he concentrates on it the less he feels

but it feels as though something is there

because as we know,  when you make something really big and bigger and bigger it does comedown on its own    that i learned from Dr. Richard Bandler

heres the kicker

i do all of this by texting

if you like i can do this for you

Yes, Same client. I have done three sessions with him but he states that his pain is the same. He has all the classic symptoms of the phantom limb syndrome. He goes in to hypnosis well. I start the mirror box procedure with him next week.

There is a beautiful description on phantom limb sensations and a healing technique in the book "THE BRAIN THAT CHANGES ITSELF " by NORMAN DOIDGE, MD. See chapter 7 titled pain. Almost the entire chapter is dealing   with the phantom limb sensations. 

An out line of the method is available at wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_box and at

I agree, Wayne, consider contacting Dan or Michael Ellner for some guidance in this area. They are two gems which shine illumination on the area of pain control.

Wayne:

Is this the same client you asked about last week?

The statement you post has little to go on in that you don't mention the client's perception of the pain or approaches that you have explored. I am doing a teleclass starting next Wednesday for a total of five Wednesday evenings, titled:Targeting Pain. You may want to check my website for details: www.danclearyhypnosis.com 

I don't mean this as an advertisement but if this is the same guy, perhaps you would be more comfortable when you assist these individuals by specialized training.
