Losing a limb must be absolutely devastating for you. I think what you are feeling is phantom pain. It varies with people so I can't tell you how long it lasts for. Usually, it goes away with time though. Best thing for you to do is to have a discussion with your doctor about it as there are ways and means of possibly treating it!
Hope this is of some help to you....

It probably varies from person to person. A friend of mine lost an arm due to injuries recieved in a car wreck 12 years ago. She still has phantom pains and itches in the "removed" arm.
