The shaking in your amputated stump is likely caused by muscle spasms triggered by severe nerve pain, commonly associated with phantom limb pain or irritated nerves at the surgical site. Since you are already taking a combination of amitriptyline and pregabalin for nerve pain, your current dosage may simply need adjustment. Your doctor may recommend optimizing these doses, adding a muscle relaxant such as baclofen to help calm the spasms, or considering alternative nerve-stabilizing medications like gabapentin. Please consult your treating physician or neurologist, who can safely adjust your treatment plan to help you find relief.
