Pelvic Muscle Twitches
Amazingly, questions arise on the Women's Health Board about vibrating sensations in the vagina or pelvic floor at least once a month. I have done MULTIPLE literature searches at the National Library of Medicine site, and other search engines - none of which have ever yielded a conclusive answer. My best GUESS is fasciculations - small nerve twitches which induce small muscle twitches. This would be analogous to twitches of the muscles of the eye lid.
Most of us have had these uncontrollable eye lid spasms ("blepharospasms") at one time or another. The triggers for eye lid spasms are fatigue, caffeine use, stress. Some treatments are pressure applied near to the twitching muscle, or even Botox.
There is another name for involuntary sustained muscle contractions which can lead to abnormal movements. They are called focal dystonias. Most of the focal dystonias include the neck, eye lid, mouth/jawbone, even writer's cramp. The start of such conditions can be after a trauma to the body part - or they can arise without apparent cause. There may be a genetic predisposition. The exact cause is not well understood, but the area can be injected with botox which causes the affected muscle to relax.
For more information on the more severe forms of focal dystonias, the Dystonia Society website offers a good overview.

My sister told me about her twitch several months ago. Her docter said this was normal due to her fybromyalgia. When I read the term focal dystonia I was really intrigged. My aunt on my mothers side developed dystonia as a child, supposedly from being hit in the head by a swing. She ended up very crippled and had a hard time eatting and talking. Doctors used her as a guinne pig. I also was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis which is in all my joints but most recently in my spine. The doctors diagnosed me with cervical spondylosis, but I am getting an MRI of my whole spine due to pain. Muscle twitches are a problem for me also. What worries me most is the reacuring twitch in my right side which makes me think of kidney. This has only been going on for two months but always the same place.
I am a 38 year old African American female and I feel invisible to the medical world. For over 14 years, I have suffered with painful muscle cramps, muscle twitching and contstant fatigue. Recently, I had blood work done and my RH factor and SED rate were through the roof. I am waiting to see a rheumatologist. I have altered my eating habits to hopefully aid i the healing of my body. I feel very alone at this time because I and the doctors don't know what is wrong with me. I have two beautiful, healthy and smart boys and I want to be around to see my grandchildren and live out a full life. My biggest concern with my health is the constant fatigue and muscle twitches (everywhere). HELP
Hello, I am 25 years old and I have a constant buzzing like vibration in my vagina. well not really in it but like the hood of it, just above I should say. I work at a nursing facility and we have pagers and some times I cant tell if it is the pager vibrating or just myself. I wanted to look it up so I dont go to my doctor saying I got a vibrating vagina and him look at me like I am crazy. So far though I have not really read anything about this cept for this. HELP I really think i am going crazy!!!!! please HELP me....
Pamila is describing the same sensation I've been experiencing recently. Yours is the only reference I've found so far online (I feel a bit better knowing I'm not alone!). It's a very distracting sensation, and I really don't know whether I should be worried or not?!? Mine is not continuous, but I guess you could say it is constant. Vibrating is a good term, my best description before reading yours was almost like when your lungs "rattle" with each breath with bronchitis ... but the "rattle" is around the vaginal area, unrelated to breath or heartbeat. The vibration pulses maybe once every 3-5 seconds, with a slight break between pulses. Any knowledge or information would be helpful!
Searching & Pamila
I've recently been experiencing the same sort of thing. More like what Pamila is saying. Although I find it to happen more so in the evening, and more when laying down or say sitting on the couch. It is rather annoying, as it is in a sensitive part of the body. I'm not hugely concerned, but it's aggravating. I more or less just want to figure out what it is, and how to get it to stop.
I am experienceing the same thing except in my thigh. Vibrates like a phone ringing. 5 - 7 rings then it stops for 5 seconds then rings again. This goes on for about 5 - 10 minutes then stops for an hour or two. Then starts up again. What the heck is this????
I am a 34 year old woman with the same symptoms just outside my vagina. I don't have any clinically diagnosed illness, thankfully. I am under a tremendous amount of stress, and I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't been taking very good care of myself lately. I've been watched for signs of Crohn's Disease which is prevalent in my family, but so far my minor symptoms have remained nothing more than an annoyance, so I'm hoping this is just a wake up call to be better to my body. Any thoughts on how to get this twitching to stop?
I am almost 28 yrs old andI too recently started getting this "vibrating" or even "buzzing" sensation in my pelvic region. It is almost as if I am sitting on a cell phone set to vibrate when someone calls it. My experiences are very frequent and I always notice when it happens. I too was worried about it at first but it is nice to know that I am not the only one. I have been under stress but nothing unusual. I have tried to research this sensation online and so far I have not found a conclusive explanation. I am going to speak with my GYN tomorrow. I will post her explanation.
I look forward to reading what you GYN had to say about it. i too have been experiencing a vibration/hum/rumble/buzz sensation in my vaginal/cervix area for about one month now. Friends tell me to sit back and "enjoy" it but as you all know it is certainly NOT enjoyable. i just hope it is nothing serious but having said that i am delaying making an appointment with the doctor as i have enough going on at the moment (yes i too am stressed - but arent us women always stressed??). i really hope somebody out there can give us a clue as to what is causing this.
I am so glad to see that I am not alone. I've been having the vibrations for about a week now, on and off, and this is also the only place I've seen that anyone talking about this. I am also not overly concerned about it but just glad that I'm not alone.
I am a 34 year old mother of two young boys and have a lot of stress at work. I'll probably talk with my doctor this winter about if it continues or gets worse.
Thanks for listening.
I finally went to my GP yesterday as i was going crazy with worry over my "humming". after an internal exam and a chat he concluded that it was similar to an eye twitch when under stress. he used the word fasculation. why it is "down there" we dont know but he was not too concerned. He says it is nothing sinister. i had a blood test and am now on magnesium supplements. i also have had 2 sessions with a chiropractor as i thought i might have a pinched nerve. so far no luck decreasing the vibration in my vagina/rectal area but my pelvis is nicely aligned! Please, if you have the symptoms go to the doctor because i would really love to hear the opinion of anther professional. if it is all due to stress i really have to laugh to think this is how my body reacts!!
I have a recurring twitch/vibration as well but mine is located on the left side of my rectum. It also gets worse in the evening and sitting on the couch. So equally embarassing: who wants to complain about their vibrating butt... If anyone finds out what this is and/or how to make it stop, please post. It is not painful, but very distracting and is interfering with my sleep.
Hello ladies. I'm a 45 year old MALE with a similar sensation. A buzzing, vibrating, humming, (whatever you want to call it) in my groin area. Didn't want to go to my doctor about it, so I thought I'd do a search and ended up hear. At first I was happy to see I wasn't the only one with this issue, but after I realized I was on a site entitled "Women's Health", I now feel I'm a bit "out of my element" so to speak. Anyway, maybe it will help others to know that guys (or at least one guy, anyway) is experiencing something similar...
Hi Michael
when i went to the chiropractor she had only had 2 patients with "the hum" but did say the problem was more common in men (yet still rare). maybe try a few sessions with a chiro - i have to say i have now been 3 times and am feeling sooooo much better. also, Ashley, if you are still around, i would love an update on your gyn appointment!
Is anyone having difficulty writing more than once on this site? Each time i go to answer someone i have to register again as if i am new.
I am amazed that so many of us have the same symptoms. I have been stressed and tired. My eye has been twitching for weeks (also thought to be stress and fatigue related) I am an RN and have been afraid to ask anyone. I am somewhat convinced that it is stress and fatigue but I am puzzled because these twitches/spasms are regular and rhythmic (not like the eye muscle) and we are all complaining about them since like OCtober...anybody ever had this before..or for years?
I went to my GYN. They looked at me as though I was crazy when I described the vibrating sensation. They did an internal ultrasound on me and concluded that there was nothing wrong with my uterus or ovaries. They could not conclude that this sensation is not coming from another internal source. Basically all they give me was the GYN perspective and for me there was nothing to worry about. I think I am going to see my GP as well.
I am still experiencing the sensations just as before. You know, my father told me that he is experiencing a similar sesation on his lower right torso side.
This thing seem to be pretty common. I wonder why there isn't anymore info out there about it?
same symptoms - vibrations/buzzing in right groin area. read that it could be something call arterio-venous fistula. let me know what you ladies think. i am awaiting a call back from my doctor tomorrow. will keep you posted.
I am a 44 year old woman. I've noticed my twitching/vibrating/jumping sensation in my crotch area for the past two weeks. It's very annoying and I plan to take it up with my doctor the next time I see her. It doesn't really feel the same as when my eye twitches, it feels more like I have a small buzzer going off...like a doorbell buzz...constantly. It also comes and goes. Right now, I don't feel it...but during the day, it comes back. I was just diagnosed with arthritis in just about every joint in my body. Oh, and I alse drink and smoke everyday so I'm thinking it may be a complication from that. Seems that everything that is wrong with women my age that drink is because of that. I also have high blood pressure and my doc just put me on a new medication. I take hydrochlorothorozide, norvasc, and I don't know if the new drug is amlodipine or lisinopril. I also get dizzy and faint when I stand up after sitting for over 20 minutes.
When is a doctor or an expert going to get back to us?
Hello Ladies,
I am a male, 36 yrs old, just started having this vibrating sensation today. Started researching online and this is the only place I could find. It is a very annoying and scary sensation. The only thing that I have had wrong leading up to this is some lower back pain. So, I am thinking this is probably a nerve issue but I guess could be circulatory too. It is very consistent. Vibrates for about 1 second and then stops for about 2 seconds. I hope it goes away soon because it is very annoying. If anyone comes up with an actual diagnois I would like to know. I guess I will try going to chiropractor soon. Take care..
I am a 25 year old male, and have been having the same vibrating sensation in my groin area for about 5 days now. It has become more constant in the last day, and has been going nonstop for about 12 hours now. I have found some postings on this odd buzzing online, but never any answers to what it could be--just the same questions and symptoms.
I'm thinking that if we all go to the doctor and see if any of them come up with a good answer to this problem. My vibrations have stopped for the most part but I'd like to know what it is in case it comes back!
I too have had this twitching, vibrating sensation, not so much in my vagina but more like on my pubic bone. It feels like my phone is on vibe and it won't stop. About a year ago I had this same feeling in my forearm and it lasted a few days and it went away. I never mentioned it to my doctor or anyone else I just blew it off. Tonight it is very different it is annoying and I am also having menstrual cramping (worst cramping in a year). I am not sure if they are linked but this sucks!!!
Im 21 and like every one else experiance this vibrating phanominom. Its more to right though, in between my leg and my pelvic area. It's not to bad, more annoying then anything, always thinking it's my cell phone, I just want to know what it is more then anything..I have also been experiancing very off set periods and have been extremly hormonal...extremly...maybe this is related to pmdd.??
i have written previously on this site about my "humming vagina/rectal area". for those who are interested - the chiropractor didnt give me a good result - i am still humming. it worked for about one week (i felt wonderfully normal for that week). i have since spoken to a GP friend who is confident it has something to do with my pelvic floor muscles. It would take too long here to explain but if you just google "pelvic floor tension myalgia" or "vaginismus" or "coccygodynia" you might find these sites useful.
i am getting frustrated reading this forum - why has there only been a handful of people that have been to the doctor??? I obviously sympathise with you all but we ALL need to get a doctors opinion so we MIGHT get some answers.
I thought it might be useful to know that i am 37 years old with 2 children, non smoker, non drinker, I have an extensive gyn history, and am on medication for insulin resistence and high cholestrol. almost forgot - and i am still under a huge amount of stress at the moment. cant wait for the stressful situation to finish so i can see if my symptoms stop too.
hi all, i have been getting this off and on for about 2 years and finally discovered a website called power-surge.com with hundreds of women going through the same thing. the website is related to peri/menopause, but it makes sense that it could be any sort of hormonal inbalance (this doesn't necessarily exclude the guys posting here). for reassurance i strongly recommned you check out the postings on this site!
I have had this 'vibration' sensation for years, I have to say it must be normal, i have no diseases and I do not believe that it's that uncommon. Although, if AshleyS is still there, I am sorry to tell you, I have NO faith in a man GYN or GP can possibly know what you are going through as a woman. See a Female GYN and at least she would know 'where' the sensation is from. I think that if you change your GYN, you may get more results, but I had a GYN female and she told me it's not a studied symptom. She told me not to worry, I wasn't alone, she did suggest to get more stretching exercises, like yoga or pilates. I believe it's helped me a lot, I rarely get them since. She's since retired and moved out of state sadly for me though. But, try a female gyn... I can relate to someone who knows what a menzie really is. :) Good luck...
I posted previously, finally made it to my GP/GYN and he (yes HE)said that it was common/normal. Unfortunately that it can be caused by almost anything. He said if it doesn't go away (it's been at least 6 weeks straight now) to go to a special physiotherapy clinic in my city that specializes in pelvic floor muscle therapy. He gave me a brochure from the clinic and I want to look some of the terms up. If I find anything usefull I will post it. I find it interesting that yoga made a difference for the lady above me. Makes sense though. Best of luck everyone!
Thank goodness for the internet!!! I have been experience the "buzzing" sensation since October as well. How absolutely ODD is it that so many started feeling this around the same time????!!! The only time I feel this is for about two hours after orgasm. I seriously though I "broke" something. LOL! I think that gentle masage and maybe a warm compress/heating pad for a short time might help aleviate the sensation. I would treat an amr, back neck spasm the same way. SO maybe this would help some of us.
Thank you to everyone for your candor. It feels so good to NOT be alone in this!
I'm also receiving eye twitching of my left eye also, a stye occurred and I have a small lump on the inside corner of my upper eyelid..It's not painful at all.. I wouldn't even notice until I touch my upper eye lid.I'm making an doctor's appointment soon...
I'm a 30 year old female who just started experiencing these flutter-like twitches late last night. Or at least that is the first time I noticed. It's in the left side of my pubic area, right along the panty line. I was really freaked out and thought it was a bug at first. Then it kept "buzzing" and I realized it was internal. You guys are right when you say it feels like a vibrating cell phone, only duller. It's so strange!!! I will definitely make a doctor's appt to see what they say. But I can only imagine that stress and/or caffeine don't help this issue. And I've had lots lately! I did read something tonight about a possible compression of your spinal cord that would create a "tingle" in the lower part of your body. I think it's called "cauda equina syndrom". I'm curious to see if anyone else has experienced any other symptoms with this twitching, like shooting pain in your leg/butt, bladder issues, etc.
Good luck everyone...I'll let you know what the doc says.
I'm new to the site. I also started to get the buzz/vibration feeling just a day ago. I noticed that if I walk or apply pressure it goes away. It also went away for a few hours today but tonight it's back and it's irritating. I thought I was crazy. I was releaved to hear that I was not the only one with the problem.
Here's one more person with a vibrating vagina. I've been feeling it on and off for a year or so, but didnt realize exactly what was going on. All thru the day I feel my cell phone vibrating, but there will be no missed calls. Just now, I felt a very strong vibration like a cell phone- but it was sitting on the table. I could actually feel the vibration with my hand thru my jeans. So of course I got online, did a search for "I feel vibrations in my vagina" and here I am.It's nice to know I'm not crazy.
I will mention this to my Dr. when I see her in February, but I expect she wont think it's a big deal.
This could be fantome vibrator sensation, I get the same sensation sometimes on the side of my waist like my cell phone is ringing, so I check it but no one is calling. Try not using your vibrator for a while and see what happens.
I checked out this site because I am having the same "cell phone" symptoms you are all having except mine is in my upper arm just above the elbow. (I even tore my couch apart to try to find my phone after being awakened from a nap) I am currently waiting for surgery this week to be treated for cauda equina syndrome which Nicole mentioned earlier. Mine is a mild case, but basically it involves compression of the nerve root in my back which has led to some numbness and buzzing in my pubic bone area and loss of feeling and weakness in my left leg.
I was recently on a 6 hour drive with short breaks about 2 hours apart. After arriving home and a shower, I started to feel this strange vibration or buzz feeling on the top part of my vagina close to the bend in my leg. I thought it might be from the ride, then I thought it could be a blood clot, then the next day I went to the emergency room. After ultrasound, they did not detect any blood clots but did discover a hernia. I can't even tell it's there but the ultrasound shows it. I will visit my doctor as soon as I can get an appointment. I still have the buzzing, no pain, just buzzing on and off. Sometimes it seems to have a rhythm and sometimes not. Yes, it drives me crazy too. I try to distract myself. Wierd!!! Sometimes it feels like blood is rushing through a vein or something. Whatever, I want it gone! I will update after the doctor visit.
I don't have much to offer either other than being one more with this exact same 'cell phone vibrating pelvic bone' problem. Mine started last week, I thought it would go away, but it hasn't. You should have seen the look on my husband's face when I told him about this latest discovery! I am a 27 yr old female with no kids, but under lots of stress recently, which seems to be a common theme here. I am releived to find others with the same problem (hopefully this will give me a little more credibility with my husband). I will make a drs appt and post anything helpful I find out.
I have just recently started to have this problem. It is hard to describe to anyone. I just recently started meds for diabetes and also added magnesium to my supplements. I am thinking the magnesium may have something to do with this as it is supposed to affect the nerves. Anyone else on magnesium having this problem?
hello all! 33 year old female here with a vibrating sensation in the vacinity of my left ovary...i have PCOS and was VERY concerned when i started to feel a vibration. at first, i thought it was my cell phone from work as i'm a RN and our phones are set to vibrate -- that was until i noticed that it was happening consistently for the duration of the entire day and even when at home at night. it feels like it's in synch with my pulse. i all kinds of things were running thru my head: aneurism, ovarian cyst...and on and on. i'm quite relieved to hear that there are others with the same symptoms & yet disheartened to hear that there's no 'real' explanation for the sensation. i have had the eye twitches before when stressed and i have been under a bit of pressure lately. it has been hard to explain this to others without getting a strange look in response.
Unbelievible, I have been experiencing the same spasms off and on for over a year. It started last Oct. ended in the late spring. I went to my gyno who ran tests, all came back neg. This Oct. the same buzzing/spasms came back. I have a stressful job. This may sound silly but I feel it may have something to do with the way I breath, I tend to breath more shallow when I am stressed, this makes my lower abdomen more tense, thus leading to this spasm.
I am so glad to have found out that I am not alone here. I started having the humming/rattle/vibration/buzzing about two days ago. It's pretty constant - last about 2-3 seconds with a pause for about 1-2 seconds. It stopped for awhile this morning (a couple of hours), but started back again. Thanks for letting me know that I am not crazy or terminally ill. I think I can now go to a doctor better armed with what my symptoms are and information from all of you. Thanks!

I thought I was going mad and felt silly even googling "buzzing in my cervix" ! This started with me 4 days ago out of the blue. I actually thought my mobile phone was vibrating in my jeans at first. It feels like a buzzing or vibrating sensation in my cervix although it is hard to actually pinpoint where it is exactly. It isnt painful, but distracting. It buzzes for around 3 seconds then stops for a few seconds, but there is a rhythm to it which is weird. I am due my period any day and had put it down to that even though i have never had it before. I am 35 with two children, 10 and 5, and have an IUD in place. I should also mention that I have noticed a slight bladder weakness recently, nothing serious just a slight leak that a panty liner can sort out. I am a non smoker or drinker but could do with losing a couple of stone. Just mentioning this to see if there is any common traits.I think if it continues I will see my GP as my mum had her menopause at 38 and I'm now wondering if its connected. Just thought I would leave my comment, we're not alone!Thanks for "listening"

I am very thankful that I am not alone in this. The vibration began on Sunday January 6th. It is a constant vibration in my pelvis area right above my vagina. It started as constant and then Monday through Wednesday it was sporadic. I developed a yeast infection on the Friday before and started exercising on Sunday. I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it. Last night while I was doing crunches, I noticed that as I came up into the crunch, my pelvis would vibrate and then when I let myself back down, it would stop. I saw that on January 5th, someone posted a blog that she has a very stressful job and also breathes very shallowly when she is stressed out. I also have an extremely stressful job and breath very shallowly… all the time though. Sometimes I catch myself holding my breath or hardly breathing. I suffer from anxiety and I am a worrywart…. So this is really freaking me out. I am going to the doctor on Monday and I have printed out some of the information WebMD has on this page (just so the Doctor doesn’t think I am crazy).
I am male, 28, had twitches. Other posters mentioned nerve compression, which made sense to me as i was also had lower back pain/stiffness. Stretching lower back, buttocks, and groin made the twitches go away. I get lower back pain/stiffness when i don't forget to sit or stand with correct posture.
I am glad I found this site. I had this problem start a few months ago. I had back surgery about a year ago and it was great. However, about the middle part of last year I felt my disc/discs shifting. Finally, the disc shifted completely, and that's when the buzzing started in my vagina. I told my neurologist about it--he said he never heard of such a thing and sent me to the gyn. The gyn said he never heard of such a thing and sent me to a gastroenterogist. He had never heard of such of thing either. I know this is all about my disc shifting and laying on some nerve. I just don't know what to do about it now because none of the dr.s will take responsibility. It's quite frustrating. The funny thing is when I tell nurses about it they all know exactly what I'm talking about! They say it is something laying on a nerve. So, why don't they doctors know this and try to deal with it?? I'm just going to start excerising and get one of those machines that allow you to lay upside down to take the pressure off the nerve. That's all I can do. I just hope my post can help someone else. And yes, the feeling is quite obnoxious!
i have just started with the same problem, i think its due to the chiropractor thats the only i have changed in my life, i was in a car wreck 1 week ago and have gone to the chiro 3 times now the vibration started yesterday and its almost non stop and very annoying if anyone has answers please let me know thanks
I also have this vibration in pelvis area, along with painful letdown senstion in both breast. Vibration happens about every 3 seconds..Letdown in Breast has happened about 4 times...This just started 2 days ago...Anyone else feeling painful letdown in breast with this sensation...Thanks
I am 44, female, two kids, stress-puppy. I too have the now infamous, buzzing groin. I had two different kinds of doppler exams on my groin area yesterday, I'll find out the results today (as it's only 5:30 am) sometime after lunch. I'll post the results. Also on WebMD, I've found a more sinister diagnosis, so have this checked as well - linked to bulging discs, numbness in legs, hands and incontinence. Cervical spinal stenosis - this is in the neck, look up the term, it's too much to describe, Also, caudia equina syndrome. Not saying we have it, however the symptoms seem the same and are worth checking as it IS very serious. Also, by the same token, I've read that people have these same buzzing sensations, with no ill effects other than annoyances. The whole, related to bulging discs, as I have several, makes me concerned enough to get checked to rule out the more serious indications. I'll let you know.
OKAY, I'm still awake and searching, I find it hard to believe such a wierd thing isn't serious. Mine feels like blood pulsing, yes, the vibrations are there as well. I also found the same symptoms under anuerysim. So, get this checked and take it seriously until a DOCTOR tells you not to.
Also, I've had more back injuries than a rodeo cowboy, so.... maybe it's nothing... however, it's been sudden and just toooo creepy.
I have had the same buzzing/vibrating feeling not in my pelvic area but in my right BREAST. It stared yesterday and goes in intervals, it vibrates for a few seconds stops does it again,then won't do it for a little while then starts up again. I had shooting pains in it a couple of days before. I have no lumps or disfigurements on my breast. Has anyone ever heard of this!!! Help
I'm glad I went to this site.. I'm reading everyone's comments and I'm soo surprised that I'm not alone.. I'm a 28 going on 29 female and I started with the same vibrating sensation the opening of my vagina, part of my left inner thigh and goes around to my buttocks. I'm so concerned... It also goes numb as well. It feels wierd when I wipe myself, because it just feels like its tingling... Does anyone else have an answer in what this can be?
I am experiencing the same sensation and I am a GUY, 41 years old - this may offer additional clues that it can happen to men. I have had eye twitches before, and I think it is similar to that. It is not painful, but odd, and somewhat annoying. I thought it was my cell phone at first, or that I was just picking up the vibrations of whatever building I was in. It feels like my penis is vibrating, but if I touch that area I don't feel anything. it has not affected my sexual ability or in any other way other than being odd. I am going to try the following: 1) take vitamins in case it's related to a nutrional imbalance; 2) apply a warm compress to the area; 3) do some stretching. We'll see what happens!
Hello all vibrators (LOL, not really). I am going through the same thing. I am female, just turned 26, with no children. I get that buzzing/humming down there, ever so lughtly when I bend my neck down to look at something on the floor. It is very strange. It's been going on for about 10 days. It's scaring me. I'm afraid my doctor is going to think I'm crazy. It is internal, down "there". Do you suppose it is related to anything doing with the bladder? I feel the urge to go more, but not like having a bladder infection. I am also on birth control. Do you think that could be one of the side effects? I've noticed a lot of the women experiencing this and writing on here are in their mid to late 20's.
Okay folks - I have it too - the purring vibration in my lower abdomen. My GI doctor said this sympton is "very unusual," and couldn't hear the vibration when she listened with her stethascope. I'm going to the OBGYN dr. on Friday. I've read it could be linked to toxic Aspartame (found in diet soda, gum, splenda, equal, Sweet-n-low, etc.), irritable bowel syndrome, plevic floor tension myalgia, vaginismus, and others. Best to rule out all the bad stuff first by going to see the doctor. I'll post again when I receive the results from my work ups.
I noticed the vibrating while watching the Superbowl last night. I too thought it was my cell phone vibrating and kept checking it. After I realized it wasn't my cell phone, I thought maybe it had something to do with being in the car for 8 hours the day before while traveling and thought maybe it was just muscles contracting from sitting so long. I was surprised to see so many others experiencing this, but am relieved that it might not be something serious.
I'm a 59 year old male, and have been having a cellphone-type vibration in my pubic bone area for a few days. Thought at first it might be prostate-related, but reading the posts from the ladies has reassured me on that. Had the same in my heel(!) a few years ago, and saw my doctor. He said it was nerve-related, and that it would probably disappear, which it did. Hopefully, we've all nothing much to worry about.
Hi. I am so happy to see that sooo many people are describing this as a vibrating, buzzing feeling...like a cell phone is vibrating. It happens in my vagina area (actually the hood). I've even put my hand there and felt it through my jeans too. I've been experiencing this phenomena for several months now on and off and it is sooo annoying. Just this morning it has been happening in my left foot. It makes my flesh crawls!!!
I believe a lot of these symptoms are due to stress, too much computer work aka sitting all day and lack of exercise. This latest idea on tv or people having constant leg issues at night may be our bodies way of saying go run, exercise me during the day and I won't keep you awake at night. Too much sitting. A good chiro and good exerice program just might be the answer. Also, don't laugh...... our underwear, pant and pantyhose might be a little too tight seriously!
Thank God I'm not losing my mind. And ever so grateful to have found this thread! This same thing is happening to me. Pulse-like vibrations on the left side of my labia. It's weird and freakish and I don't like it all.
I am a horse back rider and this started last week after a particularly chafing ride, so I thought it had something to do with that. But the chafing is almost all healed, yet the vibration continues. It's sporadic, but when it does happen, it's rhythmic - so I am thinking it has something to do with blood flow.
Thank goodness we are not alone with this mysterious and embarrassing affliction!
Ok people.. I left a message a while back ago.. and I'm still feeling the same thing.. it is ongoing for me and has not stop at all.. its like I lost feeling of my left side of my labia and butt cheek... The feeling I get, to explain is if you have ever gone to the dentist and they gave you that numbing shot, and afterwards you feel like your bottom lip is huge and feel it very numb, well thats the feeling I'm getting ongoing for a month now. I have an appt. with my doctor this coming Monday, I will post what my doctor says. Hopefully he doesn't think I'm nuts, he is a very good doctor though.....
I too, have this vibrating sensation on my pelvic bone on the right side. I had this problem over a year ago. I went to the chiropractor for an adjustment and it went away until last week. I again went to the chiropractor and it was gone in two days. It was not instant, but diminished over the two days. Not sure if it has to do with a nerve, the bone or what, and no one knows what I am talking about, not even the chiropractor. Give it a try and see if it helps. By the way, I did not have my neck adjusted, just my mid and lower back.
Hello! Reading through all of the above entries made me smile and in some cases laugh aloud. I'm busy buzzing away too with a regular rhythm - like a heart beat but not in time with my pulse! - feels like my cervix is a doorbell! (Come in?! :) )I noticed my buzzing two days after a PAP smear test. After the test it felt as though my cervix was scratched.. and then two days later the pulsing zing began! I've had all of the thoughts like everyone else including terminal blood clots trying to push their way through my aorta. It feels like my cervix is in a spasm - maybe its a response to the PAP test? Who knows?! Anyway, it's a comfort to know that I am not the only one out there but it's not so encouraging to hear that I may be buzzing for a long time and that there is no official diagnosis and cure!
I've printed out all of the blogs from above and I'm taking them to my doctor tomorrow. I live in The Netherlands and their med services seem good. Maybe someone here is a specialist in this area? If I find out any more then I will post my news!
I'm so glad that I've found a group of people who are experiencing the vibration sensation - I first noticed mine about a month ago, and just like previous posters, I felt it on the left side of my pelvis and thought it was my cell phone. Recently the sensation has migrated to several other places, most commonly in my left foot and left hand. It seems like it might be nerve-related because it's all on my left side. I am a 24 year old female with a history of neck injuries/problems, so I think my first stop will be to the chiropractor to see if he can find the source. Thanks for being so candid! This thread has been a great source of info!
I have recently started having the same buzzing or vibrating feeling.I am taking quite a few supplements for blood pressure control, including l-arginine which can be used as an e.d. treatment also,so i thought maybe that was the cause. Meanwhile its not painful, just annoying!
I am so happy to finally know that I am not crazy! I am a 28 year old single femle with no children who is also experiencing the vibrating sensation around my vaginal area. It has been occurring since February 8 of this year. I was out to eat and first noticed it when I thought the stool I was sitting on was vibrating. The people I was with were like "what are you doing" because I kept looking down and around the stool to see if anything was touching it to make it vibrate. After that I have noticed it daily and there is no rhythm, rhyme, or reason to it. I too have also felt the vibration with my hand through my pants which freaks me out even more. I was recently sick and took an antibiotic and got a yeast infection after that. I used Monistat 1 day ovule on February 7 and then the vibrating started the next evening. Has anyone had a similar experience or is this just coincidental? I am a social smoker and drinker and am in good shape. I am under stress but I wouldn't consider it very severe. I have to either get up and walk around or squeeze my legs together to get it to subside but it only does that for a little while. If someone has a suggestion please let me know because this is getting so old!
wow, I'm glad to see I'm not alone. I told my family practice doctor about the vibrating about a month ago and he made a joke about it. My background is I was diagnosed with bladder and urethra spasms (from the onset of menopause). I had a sonogram of my kidneys, bladder, and uterus. They found a small simple cyst on my left ovary which they want to look at again in 2 months. The doc said I shouldn't have one. Also, my IBS has flared up BIG TIME the last few weeks...right side pain, bulge next to my belly button. Doc said my intestines sound agry. I was diagnosed with IBS 25 years ago and last year had endoscopy and colonoscopy (normal). So yes to bladder issues, yes to menopause issues, yes to IBS.
Strange and annoying ...anyone else that can shed any light would be greating appreciated on the vibrating!
Same thing here.. twitchy vagina area.. I think mine is related to caffeine.. same with eye twitching. I drank a big soda today which I've been avoiding for awhile because of the eye twitching... I will probably mention it to my Dr. anyway..
Hi. I posted the following comments on another message board. There is hope!
I just found this thread by searching for "intestinal vibration"! I've been buzzing/vibrating/purring for more than a week. It started on the right side of my lower abdomen. Now the feeling moves around to different areas. Like another poster, I also feel weird sensations in my chest.
I suspect it's caused by nerve compression. I've been having back problems lately, more work stress and IBS flareups. I'm 50, perimenopausal, and have several large fibroids.
I'm seeing my chiropractor tomorrow. I WILL report back! I promise.
I'm happy to report that the vibration STOPPED after my chiropractic treatment yesterday! My DC used low-force manipulations and ultrasound. She said my muscles were a mess and my back and hips were way out of alignment. (I think one of the reasons was due to overextending while exercising.)
What a relief!
I'm also having the weird pelvic twitches. They are not painful. Just annoying. I'm a 37-year-old mom. I figure it's just because I've been lifting heavier weights at the gym lately and doing a lot of squats. I'm going to lay off on the weights for a while and see what happens.
Three days ago I started with similar sensation left side pubic bone/groin area. Being a natural health practitioner I researched this symptom from a different perspective than strictly medical.
Knowing the affect of great emotional stress for a prolonged period of time on the heart,and paying attention to reflexology principles, I researched the association of this symptom to the cardiovascular system - specifically the aortic arteries. In my case, I believe that this symptom of vibration is a cardiovascular warning being delivered by and through the aortic arteries system.
You might search the term "common iliac arteries" and " anatomy aorta" at search engines, or www.wikipedia.org and www.innerbody.com
When you can see the anatomy of the aortic arteries it might explain why the vibrating symptoms everybody here is experiencing show up in different anatomical areas (groin, pelvis, vagina, arm, breast, chest, etc.). They're all anatomically located along this pathway.
The connection?
For me, I realized that heartache, emotional, mental stress and all the accompanying poor habits (diet, caffeine, exercise, etc.)that typically affect the heart and cardiovascular system, acturally were!
Likewise, it makes sense that both men & women can be affected, and why natural stress relieving therapies such as chiropractic & massage seem to help.
It's also common knowledge that Rx meds often have side effects that affect the vascular system. (think arthritis meds for one)
Anyway, it makes sense in my case, so I put it out there to think about the connection in yours.
Hello All
Having searched the net for some considerable time I have found at least a group of people who may understand my problems. Being a health professional (having spent numerous years in university I have two differing healthcare professions and both being registered in the UK). Anyway I have had over the last week a buzzing in my anal area it appears to aggravated by the movement of flexing my neck (looking towards the floor). It’s bugging me and I’m finding it very irritating. There are considerable research papers that can be suggestive of cervical and lumbar disc problems but the symptoms are usually not in isolation and other neurological symptoms usually manifest along with this such as "pins and needles" "dead legs" unsteady gait. With the CES check this site out it’s a bit sparse but it NHS from the UK so I trust it.
http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/40025248/
The only thing I can add is that if you feel that it’s a worry to YOU seek medical help/reassurance. Despite the medical profession being quite non-receptive to the things they don’t know (believe me they don’t know lots of things) they are very good at assessing the serious and more sinister (we call them red flags) issues and can easily identify them thorough a neurological exam (reflexes, power, sensation, etc). Being a male I have to say is even harder to ask for help as we do not know how to ask, so men if it a problem ask to see a male nurse to have a chat or see a male doctor. If your doctor is unsupportive or amused then that’s their misgiving not yours! Sack them, get another. As we all progress through life and get older the over riding symptoms that lots of people have can be attributed to stress and anxiety (please forgive me I am not saying all here have this problem). It does stand to reason when stressed we tense our bodies, muscle tenses (magnesium depletes along with other electrolytes), dehydration, joint constrict, back arches, posture changes, resulting musco-skeletal imbalance = over tired muscles etc. We then get even more stressed causing a simple vicious circle.
http://www.healthconcern.com/Articles/introduction_to_the_physiology_of_stress.htm.
This is not a physiology lesson but please be mindful that the stress response is a phenomenally powerful thing. We are all stressed; do you check your posture? Bending that coccyx while on you computer all day. Do we drink enough water? Caffeine is toxic, so I alcohol. Firstly get it checked out to rule out any potential problems, secondly be gentle on you and remember that nothing is constant and it will go away. Considering how complicated the human body is it still amazes me how much it can take.
Be gentle on yourselves, peace and health and remember nothing is constant

I wrote a couple weeks ago about my experience and relief after an adjustment. I really hope more of you will try the chiropractic adjustment. I have done this twice now and it has subsided to completely gone each time. The first time a year and a half ago, the second time, one week after it started again and it subsided completely after four days after an adjustment. This was the vibration sensation on the right side of my pelvic bone. Please try it and let us know if it works for you. but only lower and mid back adjustment, I am totally against having someone crack my neck. You can tell them no neck..
Oh my gosh!!! I am so happy to hear that I am not alone. I went to my Chiropracter and told him what was going on and he adjusted me but it didn't work!!! This has been going on for a couple of days and it is driving me crazy!! I have reached for my cell phone I don't know how many times...lol.
I told some people at work and they think I am nuts and said well just sit back and enjoy and I thought to myself if you felt this you wouldn't like it either.....it is awful. I too have the buzzing in my right pelvic area. It is almost non stop now. At first it was just every once in a while but now it is every few seconds.
I may call my doctor next week and see what they say. If anyone knows what this may be let me know.
I just wanted to add my voice to this board. I thought I was going crazy! Actually, first, I thought that I had "broken" myself by using my vibrator because that is kind of what it feels like, only softer. Just to add my symptoms. I've also been having eye and face twitches. I think it's a lot of stress. I'm in Grad school and the end of the quarter is looming.... But I've also been drinking a lot of diet coke and one of the comments said it could be a factor. Has anyone else been drinking a lot of diet drinks? My "buzzing" isn't very frequent. It's probably happened three times in the last two weeks but it starts and stops for awhile.
Wow, it's amazing that there are so many other people with this problem, I am shocked! I, too, just started today with a buzzing sensation over my pubic bone. I have no idea what's causing it, but I am under a lot of stress. I also know that vibrating sensations are a symptom of Multiple Sclerosis... I am assuming you are all healthy people..? I've actually been worked up for MS recently, so far all the tests have been negative. I thought maybe this was a new symptom, but after reading all your comments, it sounds pretty benign. Thanks for setting my mind at ease, even if we're not really sure what causes it! I just feel validated that I'm not crazy. I definitely thought it was my cell phone, but I never keep it on vibrate (or near my crotch!).. Wishing you all the best of luck.

I went to see my doctor. My symptoms are: vibrating in what seems like my vagina area and tingling feet. The doctor and his assistant did a thorough medical history on me and then suggested I had spinal stenosis. I will be getting an MRI on my lumbar spine. He asked me if I had any back pain and I said no, but funny he mentioned it because my back is killing me today.
Jenny, thank you for posting - I had the vibrating on my pubic bone back in January, then it went away and I sort of wrote it off based on a majority of these posts. Recently I've had minor numbness in my toes and I always have back pain. Please let me know if you get any more results.
Thanks Katie for writing me back and for all users who post on here. I am comforted that I'm not the only one experiencing this type of problem.
My shaking has gotten worse, but my insurance company has not yet approved me for the lumbar spine MRI. I'm really nervous because I feel like I'm shaking all the time.
I felt the vibrating, or quivering as I called, it 2 nights ago. I'm a manager/student and have lots of stress lately. I'm also 37 years old, never pregnant, 15 pounds over-weight, get severe migraines around period time, some night sweats, and HLA-B27 positive. I tried to describe it to my husband (thinking oh no something else going wrong!) who told me that I simply needed to relax those muscles. He suggested a hot bath. So, after finally finding this site and all your posts, I feel much better. Stress can do bad things. Here are the two sites I found helpful from Carolyn's post on 11/26/07: http://www.coccyx.org/medabs/sinaki.htm Concerning Pelvic Floor Tension and this one: http://www.femalepatient.com/html/arc/sig/21st/articles/029_03_034.asp
concerning
Pelvic floor tension myalgia (coccygodynia). In both instances, they mention the cure to be some form of muscle therapy or relaxation techniques. Good luck all and thank you Carolyn!
Glad I'm not the only one going crazy. My buzzing is on my right butt cheek. I did a little research and it appears that cell phone users experience this alot. Would be interesting to know if non cell phone users experience these buzzing sensations.
Check out this site: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/10/11/tech/main3357103.shtml?source=related_story
Thank you all so much. This is a very disconcerting feeling. I feel like a human tuning fork!! I am resonating/humming/vibrating from front to back in my pelvic area. I swear it feels like my bones are humming.
I agree that stress seems to be the overwhelming theme here. I do exercise, but I am still about 15lbs. overweight. I do smoke and drink some, but not that much. I have an ulcer, am 34 and have never had children. I don't drink much caffeine and rarely drink Diet Coke. (someone mentioned that a few times. LOL) I will be contacting my female GYN and will report back if I get any updates. Good Luck to all and thank you for confirming that I am NOT NUTS!!!
Hello again, I will be seeing my ob/gyn in April and will ask for sure. Also, the diet drink and caffeine thing sound about right. I tend to drink them more when I'm stressed and have to stay awake ... the past few days I've consciously cut down and guess what? YES, it's stopped! Weird, right? Well, I'm happy it's gone but sort of worried about it coming back ... I may have to give up my morning cup altogether... Also scheduled a massage ... can't wait!
Try to find out what brings spasms
on....
Smells, fabrics, jeans, sofa, fabrics, meds. Diet drinks/foods.
Fast food, pre-packaged meals, etc. There has to be a pattern-
too many have this. (Mine is in my
bottom lip which makes me look like
I am puckering up to cry. )
Fortified milk seems to bring on
cramps in fingers and toes. I sneeze in fabric stores...Where are your fabrics/clothes from? Sanitary products? Hair products? Bath/body/perfume products?
New med? Find a pattern....Chrisma
Good suggestions Chrisma! Yes, I think I know what brought mine on now! I was wearing new scented panty-liners!!! UGH. How dumb not to think of this before? Could it be this simple? Anyone else notice these spasms while wearing them?
Hi, I am a 38 year old MALE and have been experiencing the "vibration" feeling in my groin area for about two weeks now. Someone before posted that it feels like a tuning fork...that explains it perfectly. It does not hurt but is VERY annoying!! Glad to see that I am not alone. I have been very worried about this over the past few days because it is a constant feeling and goes away when sitting with legs together or when pressure is applied to the area. It is also located on the left side as others have posted. I can feel it in the penis on the left side. I tried to find a male posting site but this appears to be in line with what others are having problems with, male and female. I have a Dr's appointment Monday and hope to find something out. Just to add...I have been under a lot of stress lately and that may be a contributor....keep posting...

My case I think is different, I have this constant pain on the left side of my lower abdomen, it's been 6 weeks now. The second week I went to my doctor and she said that I may be constipated to she gave me a laxative...unpportunately it didn't work the pain still the same, so I called her and said the paid it didn't go away, so she told me to have a CT Scan....so I did that but it didn't show in the CT Scan it's all normal on the side that is in pain.....but on the other side it show's that I have a fibroid which is 3 centemeter....so my doctor refer me to a OB GYN...so I went there, the doctor (GYN) said that I may have a Diverticulitis so he prescribed me an antibiotic and rest from work for a week....so I did not...unpportunately the antibiotic made me sick more..can't eat no appetite...I lost 8 pounds....an now weighing 110 lbs. only....so I called the doctor that it didn't help....and I need to go back to work...so he refer me again to a Surgeon (he does colonoscopy, too)...so I went there...(actually this is my fifth week suffering this kind of pain....shooting pain) the surgeon said that I don't have a diverticulitis because it should show in the CT Scan which is not showed in there) so he told me that it's just a muscle strain. He told me that I will try to make an appointment to a charpractor...if it help. So I might try that....does anyone experiencing this kind of pain....what did you do....any help from you...or anyone of you....I am suffering....pls. help me. I would appreciate any help or comment.
I have been having the vibrating sensation in my pelvic region for about a week and thought maybe I had been abducted by aliens who implanted a homing device or something crazy like that. I'm glad to hear I'm not alone as all of you are. A lot of you mention stress and I have been under an unusual amount of stress and worry in the past month and probably drink too much caffeine. I also have not been taking care of myself or exercising, so I'm going to plan to make some changes and see if that works. It is very annoying!

I'm having the same vibration. I'm a server who just had a baby 6 months ago and started to have vibration a week ago. i thought i left my cell phone in my front apron pocket on vibrate. i've had the vibrating off and on for the last week. could it be related to the c-section i had? i also had Mirena implanted a few months ago and am under a lot of stress with working full time with a 6 month old who doesn't like to sleep. any help would be great
Hi all. I have the "cell phone vibrating " feeling in my right breast. Last month it was the left, and now the right. I had 2 periods in January, none in Feb and so far none in March, no not pregnant, had 2 tests for that. This feeling continues every few minutes, stops, then happens again, for 4 dys now. Can anyone tell me what is going on before I call the clinic and get laughed at?
I am a 60 year old male and just started noticing this vibration in the groin when I am sitting relaxed watching tv or in my office chair working at my computer. It is not painful just a sensation that I am aware of.
As with most things I am curious about I did a google search an came upon this blog where mainly woman have explained and complained about this as well. Interspersed among the posts here are messages from people who have been to see doctors and it appears to me that none have indicated that this is a symptom of anything serious nor does there seem to be a clear course of treatment.
I cannot think of anything that I've done differently lately or any medication that is new. I am a bit heavier than I was last year at this time so at a minimum I may cut down on calories and perhaps do some additional walking etc.
It appears to me not to be anything that I should worry about and will mention it to my physician during my next regular checkup.
Wow, I've read all your comments and feel very relieved.
Two days ago my vaginal left side started vibrating. It doesn't hurt, it is just annoying as it tickles the bladder and gives me the sensation of having to pee every 10 seconds. It's similar to some of your accounts as it is in the middle of my pelvic bone, only on the left side, and kind of travels a short distance from the outside in, it comes in regular intervals of 8-10 seconds and lasts 1-2 seconds. It is worse after I empty my bladder and when I'm relaxing with nothing on my mind.
I saw my Chyropractor and he said it wasn't my back or hips. (I thought it might be a pinched nerve)
Then I saw my regular doctor today and he said that it was a vibrating bladder.??? I would never have guessed that as I don't have any symptoms of a bladder infection and have never had one in the past.
I Don't really know what to do about this diagnosis, I guess it means more research, but at least I have somewhere to start.
Good luck to all of you in resolving your ailments. I know how badly I want this to stop so I can really relax, not just think Ahhh, and then bzzzzzz. Thank you for sharing your stories. Hope this helps even just one of you experiencing the same thing. And if my diagnosis is wrong, I'll let you know.
I have sort of the same thing. I'm 13, almost 14. This is more about what "searching" and "Pamila" were saying earlier, but I have it more like "searching", but I only have it at night after having dreams. I wake up and it's twitching like that. My mom thinks it's something that has to do with the dreams I have. A little help please? :]
age: 60
gender: male
symptoms: vibrating sensation just beneath the skin surface between the back of the scrotum and the anus. Vibrates for about 3 seconds and pauses for 3 seconds. Rhythm is unrelated to breathing or heart rate.
Statistics: 5’11” tall, 215 pounds, non smoker
started: March 31, 2008 at 3:15pm. I was working at my computer and thought my phone was vibrating in my pocket. After checking my phone I realized it was like my seat was vibrating. It would vibrate for about 3 seconds and then pause for 3 seconds. The afternoon and evening were busy and I didn't notice if the symptoms continued until I woke up in the night and realized that this vibration was continuously cycling at the same rate as before.
Medications: for the last year I have been taking medicine for gout (colchicine, allopurinol, and diclofenac)
New Medications: 10 days ago I started taking Relacore because I am slightly overweight
Treatment: I went to the local walkin clinic. The doctor never showed up so I went home. Google brought me here. I am comforted that I am not alone and very curious to find out what is causing this.

I've been sitting here for 30 minutes reading everyones comments. I'm as glad as everyone to know that I'm not alone! I'm a 37 year old female; mother of 3 kids. I'm wondering too if this has somthing to do with hormones? I first noticed this buzzing feeling in my pelvic area last month when I was on my menstrual cycle. It quit and started again yesterday when I started my menstrual cycle this month. I've been too embarassed to go to my doctor about this problem because I thought they would think I was crazy. I think I will print this page out when I try to explain this buzzing feeling so I will have some back-up. I will let everyone know what my doctor says.
Also, a few years ago I was jumping on the trampoline a few years ago with my kids and injured my tailbone. I couldn't sit for long periods of time without it hurting. It stopped hurting after a year. This probably could also be related to the buzzing feeling in my pelvic area.
After reading the postings, I guess it’s not a gender specific annoyance. I am a 54 year old male and feared it may be an obstruction in the blood flow in the outside location of my left hip. Over the past year I would get the phantom cell phone ringing on my left hip. This would only happen every few weeks or so. Starting yesterday. It has been pulsing at a rate of 2 seconds vibrating, rest for one and so on. I failed to see if anyone has found an answer. During my search, If I find some definitive information on the condition, I will report back.
I just started feeling the same vibration feeling most of you are describing, about a month ago. I wondered how I could ever explain this to my doctor. After reading your blogs, I know it is at least not completely unheard of. I feel the vibration feeling in my lower pelvis pretty frequently all day long. I also have pain on my right side. I just had a cyst on an ovary rupture (3 weeks ago) and they think the pain is still from that. However, I think they may be realted. I'm having a hard time finding more information about the vibration sensation. Could any of you direct me to websites?
Thank you for providing this blessing (this venue), for those of us who have had this condition, and have been beyond embarrassed to try to explain it to doctors, partners, family and friends. I finally spoke with my doctors (primary, neuropsychiatrist, and gyn), and just yesterday my gyn had me go through a pelvic sonogram (no results yet). Went for second visit to psy, and although he was very sympathetic, gave me meds for PTSD, and a few others that are very frightening. According to him, my primary care practitioner "just doesn't have a clue, as to what is wrong with me, nor how to help." The psy, also told me he would rather I try the meds before he referred me to a neurologist, which my doctor wanted me to see?
My profile: fifty-eight year old female; experienced five major life stressors for past year; discontinued use of valium, which I had been taking since age seventeen. Have had cervical spinal cord surgery (ten years ago), and never been the same since. I had a private practice for fifteen years as a psychotherapist, and a very successful career in the mental health profession. A move of over three thousand miles, for five years, resulted in a major depressive disorder, which was helped by a wonderful woman (psychiatrist). I left that state, and moved to CA, where I've lived for past three years. Since last December, when I stopped the valium, after an eight month withdrawal protocol, I developed the identical symptoms that everyone has described. I also would like to describe how very horrific my symptoms are, in my own words: I feel like I am being bound/held down, while I am being sexually molested; it feels as though I am experiencing a sexual orgasm AT IT'S PEAK, and it never stops....NEVER. Not only do I feel these sensations in my Pelvic region, including, and especially the clitoral, and major/minor labia area, but also in my chest, arms, legs, hands, feet, trunk, buttocks, head, and face. It is unbearable, and although I am not suicidal, I will say that if I have to live like this for the rest of my life then I do not want to live. I have resumed taking 5-10 mg valium prn, just to help me breathe without panting, and to not tremble, or break down sobbing, while I am in public. I have also just begun taking Lunesta, in order to sleep somewhat, as I had been chronically exhausted from not being able to sleep. This condition has stopped me from having a life. Had it not been for my wonderful husband, my analyst, and my acupuncturist who is also an MD, I don't think I could be writing this now. All of my former "high functional capacities" have significantly deteriorated. I am only just now hopeful, with some of the suggestions that so many of you have offered, that I may once again wish to see the next day, and become a wholly functioning individual again. I am scheduling another appointment with the psy, and bringing a print out of the relevant comments that I have found here; I am also doing the same with my primary care practioner, my gyn, and my acupuncturist. After forwarding my comments to this site, I am going to research the sites that many of you were so kind to offer. I will write again with anything that I am able to discern about this condition, as it applies to my situation, in the hope that my story will be helpful to someone else, as all of your stories have been helpful to me.
Peace, Joy, and the blessings of good health to all of you. Catherine
Hello All, I feel for you all, I had the same thing a few weeks back, and luckly found this blog. I was under alot of stress for a big critical work project, and was feeling that for about 2 weeks, but now the project is done, the buzzing is gone. Knock on wood, that it does not return. I kind of feel it had do with the stress I was under. I am 33 female, no children. I wish you all the best, and hope the feeling goes away soon.
I am one of the few male respondents on this topic, but did want to let you know that I too have and continue to experience this vibration. I can't describe it any better than the lady who characterized it as a continually vibrating cell phone. I'm fairly convinced it is stress related. I hadn't had a recurrence in years, but recently came out of retirement and am now back in a stressful job related environment. I too will mention this to my doc during my upcoming annual physical. My eating and drinking habit haven't changed much over the years and I am othrewise very healthy. It is more than a little annoying and unlike a cell phone, I can't just hit the 'ignore button'. Best to all of you.
For those trying to find ways to relieve this problem, I would also recommend a physical therapist (physiotherapy) who specializes in pelvic muscle disorders as someone else suggested. For a separate issue, I went to a physical therapist to learn biofeedback. Our pelvic muscles are closely related to the abdominal muscles, which explains some women having twitching in the chest area in additon to the vagina (the abdominal muscles are attached to the sternum and backbone). The pelvic muscles are also closely related to our thigh muscles, which then explains the person having twitching in her thigh. She mentioned that this is all related to the autonomic nervous system of our body, which is less understood. She believes with education in biofeedback - mind over our physical body can make a difference. It does not surprise me that yoga, pilates, regular exercise can help alleviate the problem.
And yes, my physical therapist has male patients, too....
I have been experiencing vibrations in my pelvic bone occasionally for about 5 years. This on top of the pelvic pain I have had for over 25 years. It started during intercourse, but got so severe I could not walk standing upright. For five years I was told by different OB/GYN's that is was all in my head. Finally, I found someone who agreed something was wrong and did a hysterectomy. Turns out, if he had waited another two weeks, I would have had full blown cancer, since they found pre-cancer cells in my uterus.
The surgery got rid of 50% of my pain. For the last 20 years, I have been paying doctors to tell me that they don't know what the problem is. I have been sent to all sorts of doctors, and a psychologist. I can't even have intercourse anymore, the pain is so great. And they still have the nerve to charge me after telling me what I knew when I walked in the door, namely they don't have a clue.
Hello to all, I have had the same buzzing sensation for three months now but only for several days around ovulation, and in ovary region left side. It comes and goes as it pleases and lasts for 1-2 seconds. I recently went in for my annual exam with my internal doctor and mentioned this strange vibration to her. She was quick to say that it was _______? (the name she called it was something that I cannot pronounce much less remember however it started with an "s" and was one word like someone's last name definately foreign; and possibly the person who named it. The good news is that she said that it is nothing to worry about and harmless (That is why I didn't think much about writing down the name). However, it started again yesterday and it is annoying, I will call her tomorrow to get the name so I can goggle it and will post to this site.
Hi this is Jenny again. I left a comment about 2 months ago. I was having vibration sensations in my lower body that resembled a cell phone vibration. My doctor thought it was due to my spine, but a MRI of my spine showed nothing. He then suggested I see a neurologist, but said that some neurological disorders can be due to a vitamin B6 deficiency. Instead of going to the neurologist, I decided to take a Women's Multi-Day Vitamin - it had B6, B12, iron, etc. I've been taking it for about a month and a half now and my vibration sensations have gone away for about 2 weeks. Maybe you can try that if you aren't currently taking a multivitamin
I have had pelvic tingling that has progressively gotten much worse over the last 2 years. It's now to the point that it happens almost every time I eat or drink (except water). Does anyone have any insight? or similar experiences? Please help!!!
Hi,it's lejo, and I just want to say how refreshing and optimistic it is to find people who are experiencing the same sympotoms. It has been frustrating to see doctors look at me with a bewildered face, only to prescribe meds that do not work. I have the same buzzing in my vaginal and rectal area. It's so annoying and yes, even frightening. But I do believe there is HELP. One of the greatest helps is information. I appreicate every person for blogging and sharing their story. also, i'd like to give everyone some very helpful tips. Stretch, meditation, flax seed oil, plenty of water...and good wholesome fun!
I had these same vibrating twitches 24 hours a day for 2 weeks. The only way I could sleep was to knock myself out with Advil PM. I finally went to my OBGYN who did look at my funny and tell me he has never heard of this. I then went to my MD and he said sounds like a classic case of pinch nerve. He put me on a potent steroid and within a day or so it was MUCH better (90%), but still there. I had an MRI which showed a bulging disk in my lower back near the tailbone (I think), but didn’t show any major pinching to the nerve. According to my doctor he said any pinching, be it minor, is going to cause tingling sort of sensations. Where the disk is bulging is the same place your nerves lay that send feeling to your pelvic region. They run down the back and under the butt between the anus and vagina (perineum). He put me on some more anti-inflammatory and I haven’t felt a twitch yet this morning. He did say if within 2 months the twitching is not completely gone, then I would have to see a specialist who would have to put a needle in my back and shoot the nerve itself and that would stop it immediately. I have also started taking a multivitamin for women plus a super B complex vitamin along with it! If this is something you cannot live with (as in my case) you really need to go see your doctor.
I am a 30 year old woman who has been to the doctor more in the last 7 months than in my whole life.
- smoker
- occasional drinker
- lower back pain due to scoliosis
- one cup of coffee daily, water for the rest of the day- no soda
- I lost my mom to cancer in October and it was sudden (17 days after diagnosis)
- Chest problems (feeling like bruising in the chest) and palpitations caused by inflamed cartilage around the lungs
- Recently diagnosed with insulin resistance
- Recently diagnosed and treated for H-pylori (stomach bacteria/ ulcer)
- Started taking Glucophage when diagnosed w/ insulin resistance
- Trying to get pregnant
- Started taking Pilates 3 weeks ago working the pelvic floor more than ever
- Vibrating pelvic started yesterday and is sporatic
So, according to all of the posts on this site I am a candidate for it in some fashion.
Looking forward to other posts.
Thanks,
Raquel
I am a 45 years old male. For the past week I have been experiencing a muscle twitch, more like a pulse sensation right below the left side rib cage. It feels like I have some creature moving inside and wants to protrude through my skin (like in the movies "alien". It is mild in pain but extremely annoying as it occurs in a frequent basis almost all day. One doctor says it a muscle spasm, another said it may be a hernia and another thinks it could be my gallbladder affecting my pancreas. Who knows whose guess is closest to the truth.
I was sitting on a folding metal chair in a portable building and noticed this rhythmic buzzing, buzz 3 seconds, stop for 1 and then buzz again. I looked around me and thought what is that vibration? So annoying, must be the AC. Well it wasn't, it was in my vaginal area. This was several days ago. Unlike most of the posters here, I am a lot older than in the 20's and my twitching isn't on the pelvic bone. Like most of you I've been under tons of stress. I've also had twitching eyelids and muscles in various places many times. It's not easy to ignore. My health is good, I don't wear tight clothes, nor do I sit all day. There doesn't seem to be any constant except the stress factor and perhaps spinal misalignment.
I went to the chiropractor yesterday for an adjustment because the right side of my neck was painful and I drank a full bottle of gatorade yesterday too. Today the buzzing is down about 90%.
Did anyone who was experiencing this ever get a diagnosis? Have any of you had remission of the sensation?
I have researched, and visited many different health care providers. I found many interesting articles titled Persisent Sexual Arousal Syndrome..AKA Persisent Genital Arousal Disorder that was first discovered by Dr. Sandra Leiblum, whose practice is in Princeton, NJ. She is affiliated with The Robert Woods Johnson Medical School. I am in the middle of a move, as I write this note. I tried writing several times, and forgot my password. HINT: don't forget your login name or password, because I have not been successful in obtaining it from the people who organize this site. I was fortunate to find it, but right now I am unable to write about the experiences I've had since my first writing, in April. I will say one thing that I have found most helpful. My gynecologist sent me to a woman who is a physical therapist who specializes in pelvic floor muscle disorders, and she has been very helpful to me. Additionally, my acupuncturist came to a session with my pt, and they both discussed a plan for my healing process. My acupuncturist is an MD, although he only practices Classical Chinese Medicine, but of course he is knowlegeable in western medicine; therefore, although I still have horrific experiences with my problems, I am doing much better managing the debilitating symptoms. I have much more to share, but it will have to wait for a few weeks until we are set up in our home. Until then, try looking up on Google, or any other site "persistent sexual arousal disorder, or persisten genital arousal syndrome," and don't be discouraged by the unknown etiology, nor the cure; be hopeful about finding health care practitioners who treat you with respect, and are willing to try to find a team who will be able to help you. Until next time, keep well, and stay hopeful, even during the worst of times.
Peace, joy, and good health,
Catherine

OK...I've got it too. We're gonna figure this out!! I haven't seen many comments about the possibility of this being environmental. Where are we all? I live in Los Angeles. I'm curious if we could be feeling actual "vibrations" from an external source (i.e. Earth, magnetic, tidal, electrical,...whatever). Is there a geographical link?
Where are we all?????

My symptoms began with a twitching, and as time went on turned into a vibration and occasional "kicking" sensation, like a baby kicking.. but, I'm not pregnant. The "kicking" sensation and occasional vibration has been going on for the last 3yrs, don't feel it all the time and doesn't seem to be brought on by back pain or stress, most of the time when it starts I'm sitting down. A few ladies said I may have fibroids.. I'm not sure though. I do have very heavy menstral periods that are accompanied by lots of cramps. Any suggestions to what that "kicking" sensation is????
Hello everyone! I have been reading everyone's postings trying to figure out what this wierd flutter in my stomach is and as far as I can tell, no one has the same strange movements as me. You see, my flutters are in my intestines just below my right ribcage. I am not pregnant and know for sure that I am not. I am under a great deal of stress though. A few weeks ago my right eyelid was twitching and did so for about a week. It has since stopped but as soon as it did, this new mysterious twinge has appeared. I'm not really concerned about it because there isnt any pain associated with it, its just really annoying and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to make it go away. Thank you to you all!
I had the buzzing sensation (similar to an eletrical current) in my groin on the pubic bone for about a week which was driving me crazy and had me a bit concerned. After reading other peoples experiences, I decided to go to a chiropractor and give it a try ( I had never been a big believer in them). My Chiropractor who is amazing did not look at me strangely when I described the symptoms and said as I had thought it is a typical nerve related pain which for me was related to my lower back being out of alignment and nerves being impinged. The sensation immediately responded to the adjustments and I now go regularly, I am now a big believer in the benefits of Chiropractors. The sensation has not come back. Hope this can help someone as being an RN I have read some completely bizarre diagnoses that people have got by Drs. I realise its not for everyone but definitely worth giving the Chiro a go.
I am 42 years old and have had children. I was experiencing the same strange vaginal twitching. I thought I was going to lose my mind. Then I remembered that when my daughter was having muscle spasms in her thigh we tried increasing her potassium. I have been taking a potassium supplement for about a week, and have had a huge improvement!!!!! I am actually feeling almost normal again. I really hope this helps someone else as much as it has helped me. It was a huge relief to know I was not the only one with this problem!! Good luck
I was so scared to Google 'vibrating pubic bone' because I had no idea what websites would pop up but I'm glad I did now!
Like many of you have said, I told my partner it is like setting my cell phone on vibrate but much more subtle, or another description was like sitting on a large stereo speaker.
I am currently 14 weeks pregnant and thought that had something to do with it but couldn't find any links to pregnancy.
The on again - off again 'humming' is not painful or uncomfortable but just 'there!
Glad to know I'm not the only one, even if we don't really know what starts it and how to end it.
As I write this notation, I must say that although I have had great health care providers, I also have experienced some incredible disregard in the medical community with this affliction. My personal physician, as I lay there in exruciating pain, with my husband at my side, finally announced that "I have patients to see." This was the third time he said this to me, as I lay in pain, tears, and wondering what to do, where to go, and who could help me. My physical therapist and especially my acupuncturist help me, but the relief lasts only for the day. I finally returned to a neurophysciatrist that my primary care doctor referred me to (since my pc doctor thinks it's 20 % organic, and 80% psychological), and I am glad that we (my husband came to the session with me) went back even though I did not really want to. He gave me scripts (ones that he wanted me to take before, but I declined, as they had some serious, and unacceptable side effects)that although I don't want to take, and am having a difficult time with them, I don't have any choice because I am in such pain, and discomfort, I cannot go out into public. I stay in bed most days writhing in pain, panting like a dog, and wishing I were dead. (no I am not suicidal, but I don't want to live like this anymore). I am reluctant to take one of the meds that the psychiatrist gave me, and he's not sure if I am able to handle it during the day or not, but I can no longer sit on my pad that my physical therapist obtained for me, and continue to write, as the symptoms are getting so very bad. I want to correct what I wrote in my last comment: the following are the correct ways to address this syndrome: Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder-aka- Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome. I made a mistake with the disorder and syndrome on the last comment.
Peace to all,
Catherine
OMG!!!!!! This is great!!! I thought too, like everyone else, I was alone....
I'm 37 mommy to 4, and feeling started w/last pregnancy. Going to chiro dr today, since now there is lotsa pain in area too. Am also currently seeing dr to start finding what joint pain is, arthritis or what. Maybe it's all related.
I'm just happy to see there are others out there wondering what the heck..

I am 29 years old with three children and I have the same vibrating problems. I am having them now but with pain which made me research it on the internet. I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia so every new pain I have to document and discuss with my fibro doctor. It does feel like a vibrating cell phone right along the left side of my pantyline. it is so weird that everyone's vibrating seem to be in the same area. Maybe it has something to do with my inner thigh muscles. I did wear really high heels today and now my thigh and back hurt like crazy.

The buzzing completely went away after my second visit to the chiropracter. It's worth a try for anyone who is suffering and being driven nuts by the buzz.
Catherine, I am not sure that what you have is the same thing as most of the poster here have. Good luck to you in getting some relief! [hugs]
Well, I am also relieved that other women have the same vibrating feelings that I have had for the last several weeks. I was in Houston and kept asking the other women on our trip if they were feeling the house vibrate. The feeling seems worse after I urinate. My sensation occurs on the right side of my pelvic area. I am seeing my GYN on Thursday and hope to get some answers. I am 47 and had a hysterctomy when I was 36. I, too, have been under a great deal of stress and am on medication for depression.(celexa) I will post anything that I find out from my GYN.

i have been experiencing the vibration, pulses in my body for a while now. sometimes its in my feet, behind my knees, my pelvis, hip bone and just today i have felt it behind my right breast. i mentioned it to my husband and he just looked at me like i was crazy. i have worried about anurisms,blood clots, heart problems...but its nice to see i am not the only one and i find it odd that no one really has mentioned a reason for it...i guess its best that its not a serious condition. i wish someone would post a real reason for this... i have seen some things about fibromyalgia... i may need to check that out...i will let you know what i find out. thanks for being here.
Like Leadomin I too have these vibrations in various body parts, behind knees, arms, chest, stomach and pelvic floor..really makes me anxious and are become neurotic and search every illness imaginable. Sometimes they disapear - and return months later! When really anxious I can even hear a buzz in my head. Enough to cause panic attack!
I went to my GYN and she had NEVER heard of the vibrations I am experiencing. She suggested that I go to a neurologist and so I have an appt. this Thursday. I will let you know what he tells me!!! Eventually someone will know something!
Really grody, but I remember watching a cow's shoulder twitch. The sensation feels like that looked like. No harm, but yeah the movement can look or feel wild. If you think about how an orgasm happens, it makes sense. There are a lot of nerves and muscles at work that are internal.
im 21 and for a year or two now have also been getting this 'buzzing/spasm' sensation, but in the leg joint between my right inner thigh and groin area. its not really a pain as such, but annoying. sometimes, however, it does get more 'sensitive' and i feel i cant 'move' it as usual, cos its like an extreme numbess/pins and needlish feeling. it twiched somwtimes and when it doesnt its just that constant wierd 'numbness' feeling.i noticed recently that i sometimes get it before my periods. but sometimes if i havent excercied in a long time, but really not sure if it really is related to either. it usually lasts for a day or two. rarely more than three, but one of those days, it will usually be far worse than the others (once again, not a 'pain' as such - a weirdness). iv been to the doc's, he didnt diagnose anything, had an xray even, but nothing abnornmal showed. i just want to know if whether its 'dangerous' or not...
Just a follow up, I did give up diet soda and drink lots more water and I've started exercised 4 times a week. The sensation is gone! I asked my ob/gyn and he said it was most certainly a muscle spasm.... possibly stress related, diet related, etc...
I too felt the phantom pager on my hip when it was not there. It has moved to my groin area for the last few days. My Mom has MS (multiple sclerosis) and said she experienced this sensation when she was younger. I sure hope this is just a coincedence. Sounds crazy but a good opthathmologist can examine your eyes (Optic Nerve) and tell a lot about your general health. I am 43, no kids and have pretty good health except for high blood pressure. I am planning on an eye exam. I would not describe this as painful but just strange and annoying. It is comforting that I found the rest of you with this same sensation. I know the eye exam sounds like a silly start but I have not had one in over 10 years and am starting to have to pull literature further away from my face to read. As to the question of where we are I am outside of Portland Oregon. Anything is possible so I am open to all your ideas.

It's amazing to find others with this symptom! I am 34 yrs old and 15 weeks pregnant. I am also having the vibration/buzzing sensation in my vagina. It's not painful, but very disconcerting. I had discs at level L3-S1 in my spine removed about 9 years ago, and now I'm curious as to if this could be related. My tailbone also hurts really bad at times, but I've no injury to it. I also have endometriosis, so I am not sure what this could be stemming from... I'm going to copy this page and ask my DR about it. I wish all of you luck!
I am 32 weeks pregnant and over the last week I have noticed a strange sensation in my vagina after I wipe or some how touch that area(changing clothes etc.).It feels like a vibraqtion or like bubbling.It mostly happens after wiping when I pee.It has no pain its just strange.Almost like a baby bottle filling back up with air.I am really lost on this and could use some help cause its so strange.It doesnt feel good or bad just strange and I dont know if I should worry.I have no fluid leaking so I dont believe it could be my water but sometimes I wonder can I be getting air into my uterus and can that hurt my baby?Can anyone help me?
I am amazed to see so many people with this problem. I also have been having vibrations over the past 3 days in my groin. I am a 34 yo Male. I am in nursing school right now and might have a suggestion if it is indeed a muscle twitch. I have seen on here many different associations that led me to my conclusion on what it might be. Many write of caffeinated beverages. Caffeine is a diuretic (Makes you give up fluid). Many write of stress. Sometimes stress leads to altered or poor eating habits. Some talk of pregnancy. This causes a whole bunch of deficiencies. The best thing I can come up with is a deficiency of Magnesium (hypomagnesemia). I am going to alter my diet to eat things more rich in Magnesium and see if that helps. Some foods to consider are Cashews, Tofu, Halibut, Meats (chicken or tuna, also ground beef), Artichokes, peanut butter, bananas, etc. Watch if you take mineral supplements, because they can mess with the balance of potassium and calcium as well. Good Luck, I will report back my findings.....
one day I was sitting on the toilet and I was about to release and I thought my cell phone was starting to vibrate. I was in the middle of a massive and could not stop the movement. I started to stress because I could not get off the throne quick enough. once I pinch the load the vibration stopped. I was upset because I missed the phone call when really it was me that was vibrating. Just when the vibration started again I had to take another massive and just as I was about to pinch off another loaf the vibration stopped again. I my professional opinion I believe it has something to do with the amount and frequency that you dump each day. Please try to take more craps and this should relieve your symptoms.
just a thought to try tonic water. i know it sounds weird but it has small amounts of quinine in it which helps with muscle cramps. i have used it before when i get the eye twitch and it works well.
Hi, I'm going to keep this short 1st time because I have been having technical difficulties posting and lost several lengthy messages.
Basically I'm 46, just had a total hysterectomy with ovaries removed this summer, and twitching began a few days after I saw doctor for 3-wk post-op exam. Don't know what's going on but glad to know I'm not nuts and hopefully I'll find help here for the twitching so it doesn't DRIVE me nuts! Thanks all!
test comment
(I am using my husbands account) My name is Shanda, I am a 28 yr. old female who is experiencing the "buzzing", "vibrations" for a few months now in my vaginal area.
In addition to that I also have pain on my right side that seems to shoot from the hip area down to the vulvular region and sometimes feels like an "electrical" shock with piercing pain staight through my clitoris. I have tenderness in my back right by my right kidney. It's a dull ache most of the time. As of recently I have been feeling an urgency to urinate and once I do it seems like I have to go again... like after you have sex. The feeling that I get is similiar to being sexually stimulated and climaxing all day without a full blown orgasm.
I have read the posts. I feel for everyone experiencing these symptoms, mainly the buzzing. I've been told that I am lucky to have the feeling of being stimulated all day... but as we know it's about as irritating as nails on a chalk board.
Just today I was at the Doctor- urologist. I have had multiple opinions and I will just post what I've been told are possible causes, medications and tests:
1. Bockage in the ureter from a kidney stone or previous histoy of ureter damage (often from previous surgery)This may be linked to flow of urine, reflux and UTI's.
2. IC- Interstitial Cystitis
3. Bladder spasms also associated with pelvic floor muscle spasms
4. Nerve damage
I have been ordered to have a KUB xray, CT, IVP, and Cystoscope to rule out cancer, tumors, flow issues leading to backups which could cause UTI's which could explain the "Vibrating Clitoris/groin" etc.
I am not convinced that the information I am receiving is leading to all the answers, but I am doing everything that I can to get to the botton of this.
Medication that I have been prescribed:
1. Lyrica- It's new. Google it.
(Just got the script today so I will see how it goes.)
2. Pyridium
I also use muscle relaxors such as FLEXERIL. It takes the edge off the buzzing sensations and helps me sleep.
Hope this helps!
I just started to have these very odd and distracting symptoms a few days ago - so totally bizarre i could not bring myself to tell anyone - decided to google "pelvic vibrations" and was asotnished to find this site. I am a 50 years old, have had many health issues over the years that responded very well to a change in diet, I became vegetarian and then vegan. But now going through menopause has brought about other things for me to deal with. Recently, I have had lower back and bladder problems, so, based on the last message Ii read, I will persue both of those first, buzzing is another good term to use, the cell phone description fits me too - it is almost hard to detect where is actually coming from -just in my pelvic region. Will update you all if I find out anything.
Hi -- this is an update -- I had some success by taking a Percogesic tablet (OTC acetaminophen with a mild muscle relaxer ingredient). My problem may just be nerves trying to recover from hysterectomy in June. Anyway, glad to have found you all and hoping you experience progress also in getting rid of this aggravating problem! :)
Hi everyone i have been experincing vibration/buzzing sensation im my pelvic cervix bone, for the past 3 months, and its driving me crazy.. I also have the vibration feeling in my feet and sometimes in my lower back and neck.. i also get facial tremors. I have seen 3 different neroulogist and 1 GP they all say its anxiety and put me on Lexapro.. i have been taking this for 2 weeks and havent seen any diffence in my symtoms..i have had a CBC and a brain MRI all normal.. i dont know what other doctor too see about this. And its scarying me to death.. i read that similar symtoms with MS, But the Doc's are saying no...Please someone find us anwers..
Try getting an adjustment from a chiropractor. I had the buzzing 3 times and each time it went away after an adjustment.
Hello everyone! Here we are again, another Male with a Buzzing Butt. I am a 33 year old MALE who owns a small business. After reading about people's stress levels and caffine intake i thought to myself that was the culprit behind the constant buzzing. My first experience with this buzzing sensation was last week. I thought I was sitting on my cell phone while it was in silent mode. To my astonishment my phone was on the coffee table. I thought well its gotta be the water pump just below our living room. I was concerned once i got up to pour myself a glass of wine when i noticed the buzzing was still happening. Like many of you its constant and rhythmic. On and off every few seconds. After reading your posts I will try altering my diet and drinking more water though out the day. I will also start using a daily multi-vitamin. I will also try constricting and relaxing my sphincter muscles to see if that will allivate the buzzing. I will post again in 2 weeks with any luck or just more discouragement.
for leahjo, don't feel alone, I have had similar symptoms along with many others for 22 years. Mine come and go. I was finally able to get some peace of mind when my husband talked to some (doctors)dept. heads at Baylor Medical Center on a consulting job he had there. They were asking him questions and finishing his answers about me. They believe I have a mixed connective tissue (autoimmune) disease. They recommended regular monitoring by my primary dr.(i.e. kidney function, etc.)and to avoid steroids if possible. 14 years is a long time (the SED rate is just an indicator of inflammation-common in autoimmune)but your probably not worse,so keep up with your regular checks, eat well, exercise and just cope. You'll feel better and enjoy your grandchildren too.
for leahjo, 14 years is a long time to hurt. I have had similar symtoms and more off and on for 22 years. After many dr.s I was finally able to get some peace of mind when my husband (while consulting to Baylor Medical Center)talked to some (doctors) dept. heads. They asked questions about my symptoms and were finishing my husbands answers. They said they believed I had a mixed connective tissue (autoimmune) disease.

Hello, I am also glad to know that I am not crazy and most of all that I am not alone with this bussing/vibrating sensation in my viginal area. This has been going on for about two weeks now. I was getting worried because this is a wierd feeling. I do have a lot of medical problems, nerve damage, rhematoid artitis, fybormyalia, barrets decease, sever IBS problems, back problems, Osteoperosis, sever kyphosis and could go on a little but won't. I am 48, have had a hyter. partial, I kept the ovaries in 1998. I am not sure what this is but some kind of nerve problem I would imagine as what else has caused a twitching feeling other than a nerve. I do have a lot of bladder problems as well and very freg. accidents with bladder. I think I will ask my bladder doctor about it and see what he tells me. I do stress alot also because I am still working full time which this year has been really hard on my mentally. I have this sensation all day long, at least once every five to 10 minutes a day all day. When I am sleeping I am so drugged up I don't pay attention to it as other wise I can not sleep but I need my rest. If anyone else really gets the answer for this. Please let us know know. I am just glad I am not going that knuts.
I posted this twice in the last two weeks and I don't see it on the page...
My twitches go away when I get adjusted by a chiropractor. I've had it three times, the longest seige of it lasted three weeks. Each time I went and had an adjustment and it stopped. I think mine were caused by pressure on the nerves that lead to that area.
Anyway, it's worth a try for those of you who are suffering.
WOW!!! I thought there was something seriously wrong with me! Like most of you here I have had this "buzzing" but in my tailbone for about a week and haven't told anyone about it! I did some research and found this forum...THANK GOD! I had a child about a year ago and the pelvic floor thing sounds like what I have going on but just to be sure I'm going to go to the doc...i'll let you know what she says:) Its weird how there seems to be so many people with this issue yet not that much info out there!
K. I too am very thankful to have found this site. My vibrations started yesterday. I am a nurse and I was in the nurses station when it started, I reached down to check my phone...(which we wear on our hips)..nothing. I even asked others if they felt the vibrating. Then when I got home last night, I coninued to feel it, in nothing but my nightgown. I have had several very stressful events in the past month. I also am experiencing a new onset of knee pain. I drink WAY too much diet soda and have been eating next to nothing due to the stress...I laughed out loud at the post about alien abduction and the implatation of a homing device, as I found myself thinking some pretty strange things myself!!! Thanks all fo sharing!
Yay, my buzzing butt doesn't make me crazy! I'm 36 and 6 months pregnant with my 3rd child. I started feeling the vibration in my butt a few days ago, and at first I thought I was passing gas. But then I thought, "Wouldn't I know if I were?" I was so embarrassed to ask anyone. I knew something was wrong when it has continued off and on for days.
I recently did a lot of housework and my lower back is sore. My legs are feeling really weak too, so I believe now that my buzzing is probably related to a pinched or injured nerve.
My poor baby! I hope he isn't too bothered by this buzzing. I need to get to a chiropractor soon.
I am so happy to find you guys - not to be selfish but I am so happy I am not the only one experiencing this - I thought I was going crazy. Mine is a pulsing/buzzing feeling in my lower left abdomen - started about 4 days ago - a day before my period started. I inititally thought that it was gas or something. It stops periodically but is very annoying and distracting. I have also been under a lot of financial and emotional stress - maybe the stress is somehow causing it alot of you are under stress, too. I have GYN appt next week - going to see if my GYN can help us - she is the best! I'll let you know what I find out...
I am 33 years old. I have suffered from back pain since I was 16. Past six years have been horrible. Last year I tried working for a factory, they ended up making me lift heavy boxes, ended up bed ridden for 2 weeks. Fast forward 1 month ago. Tried to help a friend lift some stuff, got in severe pain. Went to doctor next day MRI, shows I have spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis. I have also been having muscle twitches, (down there) Especially horrible after sex w/ husband. Doc sent me to physical therapy, only made back worse-sending me to back specialist next week. I feel like everything is falling apart on me. I can't sit or stand for long periods of time, even lay down without pain. So I know how you all feel..
I am a 46 year old mom, I am lately experiencing this movement on my ovaries like if i would be pregnant, but i am not, it is rather anoying and it worries me alot, i am in my mesntrual cycle so there is more concern, please help me, it is not a bibrating sensation it is movements! so weird.
Sounds like gas moving through your bowels Becky. Why not try one of those gas tablets and see if that helps?
HELLO FELLOW "BUZZERS",
I too am relieved to know I am not the only one. I have had this problem in my ovary area both sides and breasts for several years now. The doctors laugh and have no explanation. I have a theory. Before this started I would get a cattle prod feeling on my sternum (?) the spot just between the rib cage where it meets in the middle. I would truly feel like I was being zapped. Is it possible that we have more electricity in our bodies? I had an ultrasound while pregnant with my youngest son, it picked up a radio station. They said they had never seen that before. Maybe it is just as simple as that? Keep reaching for your cell phone, I know I do and good luck.
jeri, I'm having the exact same problem as you, just under my left breast at the top of my ribcage. It happens to line up right where my bra is, except I know it's not my bra that is the problem because it happens when I'm not wearing one too. I find it weird because a lot of people here are saying after they've had a child, or during pregnancy or things like that, but I'm only 22 and don't have children. I'm very confused and slightly worried just because it's right by my heart that this buzzing feeling happens. Should I go to a doctor or something for this to see if anything can be done?
Briott,
Honey, I would always recommend going to the doctor if something does not feel right. Just because I went and it did not help does not mean you may not find something out. If nothing else, it will put your mind at ease to know there is nothing else wrong. I myself am 48 and have had 3 kids. Who knows if that has anything to do with it. Maybe not if you have it too! Maybe we are all just special and everyone else is odd, how about that?
Keep the comments coming all. Maybe we will be able to find out just why we are always reaching for our vibrating cell phones. I guess you just gotta laugh.
Ok ive looked at all the blogs and its all most a year of them on hear and nobody has come up with and answer. I too found this site looking for my symtoms i have vibrations like a cell phone on my right side lower abdomen it is really driving me crazy. Its a distraction at work and home and right now. The only thing that it looks like we all have in common is the stress factor but ive had stress long before this in 41 female. God I hope someone figures this out. thanks for letting me vent.
Linda,
I posted this previously, guess you didn't see it? Try the chiropractor. I found out that if I go to the chiro and have an adjustment the twitching stops. I think it could be caused by pressure on nerves, you get an adjustment and the pressure is off, the nerve calms. It's worth a try. Good luck.
I hope this helps someone else find relief from that annoying "cellphone vibration" sensation. I STOPPED WEARING MY CELLPHONE. I always had it clipped to my front pants pocket during the day, probably 12-14 hours per day for the last 2 years. So for 3straight days I did not wear my phone on me and on the 4th day, I had no more vibrations. It has been about 4 weeks and I have had no further vibrations. I now carry my cellphone in a pouch attached to my purse or I carry it in my hand and set it down when I can instead of having it clipped on me. If they say we can absorb dangerous radiation into our heads from talking on our cellphones too much, why couldn't we be absorbing some type of radiation/radio waves into our bodies from the phone when it is attached to us? This is what prompted me to try my own experiment and stop wearing my phone. It worked. So far so good. I originally had eyelid twitching that was constant for 2 months. Nothing worked to relieve it and then it just stopped. But then I had the "cellphone vibrations" in my lower left abdominal area. Again, nothing relieved it until I stopped wearing my phone.
This is incredibal, I thought I was going crazy, I am a 49 year old nurse and was trying to excplain my symptoms to my co-workers, needless to say I was not getting any where with the vibrating /buzzing sensation in my pelvis. They looked at me like I was crazy. I however am also having Frequent urination symptoms also, Is anyone eales having this along with your symptoms? I hope to take in some of Ya'll info to my GYN to let him know that this is real. I have not slept in the last 3 nights due to this irritating feeling. I didn't even bother explaining it to my husband, he would just look at me strange, then 3 days later ask me if I was still buzzing...sarcasticly. Thank goodness for all of ya'll who take the time to reply on this site!!!!!! Keep it up
I too have been getting "call on vibration" in my right pelvic area. Started yesterday. Had CT pelvic scan day before and was wondering if it had anything to do with dye injected and ingested for scans. Doesn't hurt just annoying. Have common thread of extra stress and near period/peri menopausal. Hope it stops soon.
I am male, 58, excellent health, not overwieight and fit, but I have the same vibration too. Mine is in the lower right groin. I too was scared by it, but see a trend in eveyone's and the Dr.'s comment. Stress is such a common element of these, too much caffeine, too much tension, some reflief from relaxation, be it yoga or chiro or exercise. I know for certain that I have the eye twiching if I take in too much caffeine and that drinking more pure water helps remove it like magic. On the other hand, my groin is still "ringing" and I am not sure why. I will follow the path of no-drugs and use the wholistic approach of exercise, relaxation, less caffeine, etc.
Good Luck to all of us "ringers"!
hi everyone i had posted in July and i have not had a day go by without the buzzing sensation and its driving me crazy.. i have seen more nerologist and more blood work and EMG and nothing came up.. i also took cymbalta for 1 month and nothin... please everyone keep updating us on your progress and more info..thanks
I'm a 50 year old woman with the same problem and have been expericing this for about two years except on both sides of my pelvic area. I mentioned this to my obgyn and when he did a lapcorospy to deaden the nerve in my uteres for the pelvic pain i was having for the second time he said he looked around and couldn't find anything. The deading of the nerve only lasted six months the second time and all the pain returned and the vibrating never went away. I had mir,catscan, colonosopy,eeg(scopy down the throat and nothing all in one year but now I going to an interventional radiologist for the pain but I will also mention the virbrations and will let you know if I get any information.
Hi everyone. I'm new to this website and hope someone will offer me some help or advice. I have been experiencing numbness in the vaginal area and a buzzing feeling at times and also have knee, leg, hip pain. My left leg is much bigger than my right and I have had a sed rate of 45 for some time now with no answers as to why. I have asked my doc for an reason why it is so high and I grow more concerned that something like MS, Lupus or something is lurking within. My knees burn and I am in constant pain most of the time, on a scale of from about a level of 4 to over a 10. I have trouble sleeping most of the time and really worry about the sed rate thing with no answers. Any help or comments, advice would be appreciated. Thanks, "Ellen"
I read about all the suffering and I feel sad that people feel so poorly. Please give chiropractic a try. It worked for me. Perhaps it will stop the discomfort for you too.

Hi! I am a chiropractor, so's my husband. I joined the flutterby club yesterday. Glad I found this series of posts. My story: stress, eye twitch for ~2 months, training for second marathon, am a runner for 9 and 1/2 years, moderate scoliosis, two days ago did a really engaging pelvic floor exercise that I teach my patients sometimes, had intercourse that was intense physically and emotionally 12 hours before the fluttering began.
So...why is everyone getting this buzz, flutter (my teenage son suggested I was pregnant and that there was a baby kicking, which IS how the early kicking felt for me!)vibrating sensation? Alot of you have had the answers already. From my understanding of the body, there are physical (biomechanical) and neurological reasons for this vibrating symptom. The lumbar spine and also lower nerves in the sacral region will refer sensations to this area. (In chiro school, a friend had terrible scrotal pain, that was related to his low back only, as he checked it out with a doctor/faculty at our school.) So yes, chiropractic adjustments will help. The spine/nervous system is a keen perceiver of stress whether it's physical or more mental....an adjustment is kind of like tuning down the idle on a car. Some peopel's symptoms are slightly different than others...this could be related to our individual weak links. Why is mine aparently in my vagina/ or bladder? That's the thing....it's probably in my back. For the record, I don't have any real back pain most often, but I'm hyper aware of my body being perfectly tuned up or not. Feeling symmetrical, relaxed, strong, tall....this is great. Stress gets us in our weak link(s). I do have scoliosis, I am training and peaking/ready to taper for my marathon. I am having a bit of trouble with my left buttock. So everyone:thank you so much for sharing...helped me from being a worrywart (I can be one). Also, stress, as some have said, IS a powerful thing. Don't allow it! Be happy, Be optimistic, choose what your head thinks about...and your stress diminishes. Take action steps to change your situations, of why you're stressed. Go see a chiropractor, and hopefully it's one who understands your request. No one has ever come into my office in 20 years with this complaint, but hey, everyone can learn at anytime. Think of having a strong healthy back and that includes a strong core. Sitting a lot will mess with your back/core. Also, things that will help, either with stress, pelvic floor tension and neurological /spinal issues: acupuncture, physio who specializes in pelvic floor issues, acupuncture, yoga, exercise, meditation. Find something that will make your back feel strong, tall, and relaxed. Also, drink enough water, minimize caffeine and carbonated beverages, eat as much fresh food as possible, and not so much foods that stress you system (dairy, flour, sugar). Be happy! You have all made a difference in MY life today, and for the better! Thank you all! If other illnesses are a part of your individual stories, that will make sense because of the system overload/stress idea. Always tell someone until they hear you, or tell someone else. Keep up the good work everyone! And here's to each of us only feeling turned on when we want to be. I'll check back and see how people are doing....hope some of this helps each of you if still needed/glad some of you already are better!
I am a 40 year old woman with this same vibration sensatioin you've all mentioned. Mine feels like it's around the pelvic bone area, not inside my vagina, but around the opening or something. Hard to explain. Anyway, Sweet Pea asked if anyone else has had frequent urination problems. I have! I have actually had that problem for months now. My urologist cannot find anything wrong. These vibration feelings are new and started last month for about two days after my period. Now they're back (about 3 days after my period) This time they're stronger and more frequent. With my frequent urination problem, I've also had low back pain that radiates into my buttocks when it's at it's worst. I've been on a low dose of antibiotics for months. When I try to back off of them the symptoms come back so hard I think I will die, yet the doctor says no bacteria in urine and other cultures are coming back okay, except there's an abnormally high number of white blood cells in my urine. I have battled with chronic constipation my entire life, even as a child. The doctor put me on some fiber stuff I drink (forget the name but it's over the counter) and although my BMs are softer, they aren't regular at all. I don't know what this could be. I'm frustrated and looking for answers since the doctors cannot find any.
I am so thankful that so many people were willing to share! Now I know I'm not crazy. I have a buzzing feeling on the left side of my lower pelvic region. So many people described it so well I was shocked but thrilled. I didn't want to see the doctor about it becaues I figured they would think I was crazy. It is rather irritating since it has a definate pattern (about 2 seconds long then about a 8-10 second pause and it starts again). I just wish I could get it to stop. Thanks again to everyone for sharing.
Hi all. I'm so happy to have found this site, as I thought I was going crazt. I'm 30yr old female and my vibrations starting yesterday out of now where. They are constant and on the left side of my private area. It's driving me crazy. I have been under ALOT of stress. Does have one know the cause??
I had "foot buzzing" for several months, years ago. Not always the same foot. It was disconcerting, distracting, and annoying, but not painful. I kept telling everyone it was like my pager going off in my foot. Now, I agree, it was also like a cell phone on vibrate. I was initially worried about blood clots, but realized it wasn't pulsing related to my heart rate. I have some ruptured discs from a fall, and during that same time I saw a neurologist, an orthopedic surgeon, a chiropractor,a massage therapist, and an acupuncture doctor, and the buzzing finally went away. They all agreed, that they thought the sensation was nerve related, coming from the back/spine. NOW, my thigh has been buzzing for the last few days, so I decided to do an internet search for any wisdom from fellow buzzers!
Good luck all!
I am a 37 year old female and I too have experienced this feeling of "vibration" in my groin area and I believe that there is an underlying cause! I am an LPN and I know that our body sends us indicators when something is out of balance and I intend to find out what it is. I have a doctors appt. on the 27th and I will post whatever information I recieve from my M.D. I used to think that I was losing it but now i feel differently. I am glad to know that I am not ALONE in this!!! Look for my post on the 28th
Hi - I'm a male who had similar symptoms for over 6 months. Nothing I tried worked (klonopin helped some, but not totally). I recently tried the supplement L-THEANINE, and it solved the problem! I think it's helping me by increasing dopamine levels. I'm taking 300mg every 8 hours. Your necessary dose level may be different than mine, as my case was really bad. I've read that the FDA recommends not to take more than 1200mg. I'm still taking 1mg of klonopin, although I hope to try and stop that at some point. - Mark
I'm sooo happy to have found this site. Thought I was losing my mind. Have had this vibrating sensation in my lower abdoninal area for 2 weeks now. Having read all your posts, many of the surrounding factors are similar. I do have bulging discs in my back with some scoliosis. Have been under more stress than usual lately. Described the "vibration" to my GP who basically blew me off. Based on everything I've read here it seems to be it may be nerve-related. I'm going to try some yoga (which has helped my back pain tremedously in the past) and then maybe a chiropractor. Will follow up with any success stories. Thanks for all the input.
I was sooo happy to find this site. I have been experiencing these vibrations in my lower abdominal/pelvic region for 2 weeks now. Tried to explain to my GP who bascially blew me off and attributed it to possibly IBS. which I don't have. Having read all of the comments, I do have bulging discs and some scoliosis. I'm thinking it might be nerve-related. I have been under more stress than usual as well. I'm going to try some yoga (has worked well in the past for my back problems) and then perhaps a chiropractor. Will post any success stories that come from this.
Interesting blog! I thought I was the only one going crazy with this buzzing. 46 year old Male here. I had this sensation years ago for a few days. Now it's back and doesn't seem to be leaving. It's definately in the pelvic area as well as feeling like blood rushing through tubes in my inner thighs starting and stopping like a pulse. What's our solution? Reading all of these post it appears stress is probably a factor. Definately stress with life changes going on here. I never thought of the vibrating cell phone description but that perfectly describes the buzzing. I guess I've now joined the club.
Interesting blog!. 46 YO male here. I had the "Buzz" years ago for a few days then it was gone. Now it's back. Not only is it in the pelvic area it also now feels like blood pulsing through tubes just inside my inner thighs. It seems like a common demoninator in most of these post is stress. I've definately been under much more stress lately. Hope that's all it is. It's just finally nice to read of others with "vibrating cell phone syndrome" or feeling like maybe the ground was moving. I guess now I'm not alone.
Hi- I am a 41 year old Hispanic female and I have been experiencing this vibrating/humming feeling is like some woman here have said that it feels like your sitting on a vibrating phone. At first I didn't thinking nothing of it. I don't experience it as often as some women her do but I will definitely look in to it with my doctor and I will post update. Also if any woman here are experiencing painful intercourse here is some info regarding that on this website link:

Hope this is helpful.
I am a 32 year old MALE.. Seems like this is more common than I thought. I get the same sensation near my groin that feels like my cell phone is buzzing. I went as far as to see if my phone was faulty so I tried not carrying it (even tho it's not on vibrate) and I still have the same sensation. Only thing I can think of that could have caused it is that I had to fix the brake light switch on my car under the dashboard and I had to contortion in a way that wasn't very natural (for me anyway) and I've been sore the past few days. So maybe it is a spinal thing.

I'm Dr. Bellamy, endocrinologist. For those of you interested, that is the science of the endocrine system. (That is mainly Hormones, hypertension, diabetes, pituitary disorders, etc). I am not a neurologist, however, so I can only give some helpful advice and definitely not a prescriptive diagnosis. I would refer most of you to a neuroscience specialist. After reading through this forum I see that most of you seem to be suffering from a lack of several vitamins and you appear to all have symptoms of allergic reactions to mono sodium glutamate. (MSG) I'd be very interested in hearing your full description of symptoms. There is also a parasite that causes some of these symptoms.
Although there are no antibodies involved in a response to ingestion of MSG, MSG contains what is called free glutamate acid and it is a neurotransmitter. What this neurotransmitter does in the average human is stimulates the nerve cells It is a drug like caffeine or alcohol and it will affect each of us in varying degrees. It has been known to cause nerve spasms throughout the body.
Oh thank god! I thought I had some kind of disease...
I am a 38 year old mum and have been experiencing intermittent buzzing in my rectal area for about 3 or months now. Seems to be linked to my menstrual cycle increasing in intensity depending on where I am in my cycle.
I am stunned at the number of posts on here- averaging 1 or 2 a week for over a year! Its such an embarrassing thing to bring up to your GP (those with vibrating vaginas be thankful- how do I say I have a vibrating anus?)
Dr. Bellamy I am one of the posts I wanted to know if there is any way I can contact you to get more info on what I should do. I have gotten a million tests and I don’t know what to do anymore.. please let me know how to contact you?
I am a 33 year old female with Multiple Sclerosis. I too started having the buzzing sensation in my vagina this morning. I have had urinary problems this last week with an all time record of going 40 times yesterday. As I am on an antibiotic for a sinus infection, I don't suspect a bladder infection. I have experienced the buzzing sensation in many different areas of my body - in particular, my brain. I will see an OB/GYN on Monday, but I suspect it is more related to my MS than anything. Nerves do strange things when they are tweaked. I don't enjoy it in the vagina though, it drives me totally crazy!
Hi Dr Bellamy. I wonder if you would be able to give me abit of advise. I am a 25 year old female who for the past 6 days have had this annoying buzzing/vibrating behind my pelvic bone. Im pretty healthy and don't suffer from any illness, apart from vertigo alot of the time. I possible think its a trapped nerve of some kind, but im getting the odd dull ache in the top of my right leg today. Would you advise a doctors visit? I cant see seeing her will help to be honest but its driving me crazy! Everyone I have told has never heard of this feeling which is quite scary as I felt abit alone with this until I read this discussion and realised there were other's yet no one has a cure..HELP!!
Interesting -I'm 54 yr old male - 1 second buzzes about 4 seconds apart now for about 2 days about aa inch in in the outside of my right hip - definitely like a cell phone vibrating but about 1/2 as intense. I'm healthy. take care of myself - exercise, vegetarian, take moderate supplements, etc. No other symptoms, weirdness or back pain etc. Will see what happens and post results if i go for chiro, acupuncture, etc.
i think the whole twitching thing does come from stress and fatigue. i recently started a second job and havent had much sleep. and my boyfriend has not been aiding in the daily cleaning that i normaly do. im also in school at night sooo..these past 2-3 weeks for some reaosn and so randomly my eye just twitches. and it has happened in the past but never this frequently which is why i was worried. but looking at everyones experiences i think ill be ok. its just very awkward when it happens when im driving or talking to someone...
PhoneGuy
I have noticed most the post are from woman. But I am a guy who has experienced the "phone-like" vibration in both thighs (outer-pocket). It started on the left and now the right side has me digging in my pocket for my phone (which isn't there of course).
WHAT IS IT
I am a 40 year with an 11 year old daughter. I have read the many posts about the buzzing sensations in the abdominal area. I have had that sensation I believe since about October of last year. It is very annoying. It usually happens when I am on break at work and sitting at my computer at home. It does happen sometimes when I am up and about. It feels like my phone is in my pocket and set to vibrate. It always happens on my left side near the ovary. It doesn't move. I would love to find out what this is. I don't have a lot of faith in doctors anymore since it took me many years to find out I had fibromyalgia. Each doctor made me feel like I was making it up and stupid for seeking answers. As far as the mysterious vibration is concerned, I have been under a tremendous amount of stress. I am also overweight but otherwise healthy. I thought I was alone with this sensation. But now I know different. I also have had a very severe twitch in my right eye that is bothersome. It is getting worse. That started a few months ago.
I'm very happy to have found this site. I have had this vibrating going on for about a week now, and I had it happen to me several years ago for a short time and then it went away.
After reading many of your comments,I realize mine is coming from the fact that I have had a lot of knee, hip, and foot surgery in my lifetime. I'm 66 and was in a life threatening car accident with many injuries some 40 years ago.
I am still, and will always be, paying the price for that.
I'm recovering now from foot surgery and went from a cast to a boot last week and that's when the vibrating began again.
I had a knee replaced in '97 and it wasn't done right and I could not straighted or bend my leg properly. Therefore my gait when I walked was not normal.
I have since had my knee replaced again in '05 and it is much better.
In between those times I went to see an Orthopedic Specialist who took x-rays of my knee and also my spine. He then asked me if I was having any vibrating sensation in my pelvic area. At that time I was not and told him I had in the past, but not recently. He advised me that it was because of the way I was walking. It was throwing my spine out of wack and pressing on nerves, causing the vibrations. He suggested I go back to the Dr. who did the original knee replacement and have him redo it. As I said, I had it redone in 2005, but not by the Dr.who origionally did it.
Now that I have the vibrations back I didn't want to go back to the Surgeon, because I don't want more surgery. But I'm going to check out a Chiropractor and see if I can find help there first.
Thank you all for your comments and insight.
