Except possibly in war scenarios, the operation is performed under General Anethesia ( not a MASH character, if you excuse the pun) the amputee is unconscious during the amputation. -there is a largely psychological problem of Phantom pain, where one might feel pain or nervous tension on the side of the body where the now-gone leg was. this is acknowledged, and over time will ( burn itself out) - there are evidentally microscopic nerve endings that are still picking up sensations- but alas will die out when the thing cures.
