Is it true that twins can feel each others physical pain?

I have heard lots of stories about twins being able to feel each others pain. For instance, if one twin cuts their hand the other will feel it too. I was just wondering if there was any scientific reason for this or if it is just a really weird coincidence. Any answers given will be appreciated!Is it true that twins can feel each others physical pain?

xIs it true that twins can feel each others physical pain?
thats NOT true! i have an ';identical'; twin %26amp; our perosnalities are different, same with our interests. i dont feel sympathy for her problems nor vise-versa. i even know another set of identicals that are different


even twins, have different genes. impossible to be exactly the same


we're separate persons, not duplicates
Hey I am a twin and yes some would say we are identical but others say we are non identical. My mother says we are non identical but have similarities


I would say I cannot feel her pain when she gets injured alot but when we were younger. if she cut herslf I would find I would get a similar cut some days later by accident of course. My mum was always in Accident and Emmergency.
well.. i dont reli know 2bh but i dont believe they do because even though they are twins, there are no 2 people in this world that are alike...


I don understand how yu can feel sum1's physical pain when yu are unique...If it's tru that they do, they that's totally weird..
