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!

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