Strange feeling of pain - Is this a form of synesthesia?
Sometimes when i'm reminded of pain, someone nearby experiences pain, or i for some other reason come to think of / imagine pain, i feel a mild pain on the back of my thighs.
I didn't think much about this, and thought it was completely normal, until i asked a couple of acquaintances about it and they had not experienced it themselves.
Later i found this article http://www.livescience.com/health/07061 ... faces.html , which describes something vaguely related: Overly empathetic people feeling the same physical touch or pain as another person. But i'm definitely not overly empathetic , and i don't feel the same physical touch/pain as some other person, i just feels this particular mild pain, always located at the same part of my body.
Can anyone relate to this? And do you think it could be considered a form of synesthesia?

It is strange that we always capitalize the "I" pronoun. |
