Hello PF,

Many times when my wife is in pain I will feel a similar pain in the same location despite having no ailment. Has this happened to other people? I've read of husbands sharing their wife's pain in child birth but not back pain or stomach pain or headaches.

Oh yes! It's very real! Kind of funny story on that. Had a patient in ER who was having pain from a broken leg. Her husband started to have the same pain...I mean the man was wailing louder than his wife. They had been married for many years. We ended up treating him for his phantom pain as well. This older couple was so bonded, they shared the pain of each other.
 
Crazy they would never prescribe narcotics nowadays for phantom pain like that especially a couple together.
 
Sometimes I instinctively scratch my wife’s back on the spot that’s itching. And I’m almost always right about where it is

Oh yes, very common HerbJa. And it happens ignorantly and remotely too so at least some occurrences are purely psychic.
