Heights = stabbing pains in fingers and soles of feet!

[MitchT]

Does anyone else experience this?

If I stumble across footage of people doing risky things at height I immediately get sharp, stabbing sensations in my fingers and the soles of my feet.

Heights alone arent the issue. For example, if I watch a POV video of someone hang gliding I'm fine. I can happily sit for hours gazing out of the window of a plane. I can look out of a window at the top of a tall building with no issues.

But, if I so much as watch a YouTube video of someone doing something where there's a danger of falling, such as standing on the edge of the top of a tall building, or shuffling along a narrow ledge on a cliff with a massive drop below, I'm in instant discomfort!

Don’t know what you mean

That's exactly the kind of thing that sets it off!

Heights and people hurting themselves. Like those videos of skateboarders missing a jump and clanging their nuts on the handrail.

But not pain in the fingers, feels like an electric shock in my ahole.

I know exactly what you mean OP. I assume it's sweat glands instantly firing. Which is ironic because if you're in a tricky position at hight, the very last thing you want is sweaty bloody palms.

I don’t get the fingers but I absolutely get the sharp stabbing pains in my feet 100%.
No idea what causes it.
