intermittent humming/vibration sensation in left groin/thigh

[wahoo1121]

I'm a 44 year old male who, for the past week, has experienced a humming/vibration sensation in my left thigh/groin area, akin to the vibrate mode on a cell phone.  The sensation is intermittent.  It is not painful, but is irritating.  No motor weakness noted.

I had this vibration feeling too. Just wanted to tell you guys how I dealt with it:

I tried tums, and while it did seem to help, the problem also came back, and then went away again, regardless of the tums.

I talked to my doctor, and he reassured me that it was just a temporary thing, and was perfectly normal to feel

However, if you have it for a prolonged period, or if you feel NUMBNESS or PAIN associated with it, see your doctor and let them know!

Tingling in the thigh, also known as meralgia paresthetica, is a condition characterized by a tingling sensation in the outer part of the thigh muscle, or quadricep. The condition results when the nerve responsible for supplying sensation to the surface of the leg gets compressed. Tight jeans, obesity, weight gain and pregnancy are common culprits behind thigh tingling.
Effects

The common effects of meralgia paresthetica include a burning sensation and tingling or numbness in the lateral portion of the quadricep muscle. Less commonly, dull pain in the groin or across the buttocks might occur. Meralgia paresthetica affects only one leg and can be exacerbated by walking or standing for any length of time.
Features

A compression or pinching of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is primarily responsible for tingling sensation in the thigh. This sensory nerve supplies sensation to the surface of the leg, but it does not contribute to the ability for the leg muscle to work. In addition to tight jeans or pants, obesity, and pregnancy, scar tissue from past surgery, nerve injury from diabetes, and seat belt injury from a traffic accident can bring on the condition.

I am experiencing the pulsating vibration in my left groin area every 10 seconds for a couple of seconds. 52 year old under extreme stress with no back problems. Seems like nerve related because of the sensation and timing. Wierd

Did you ever find out what this was?

My husband and I both have been experiencing this sensation. My husband felt it months before I started.   It feels like a vibrating cell phone is very close to our body.  Mine is in the left groin area.    Recently I was noticing the intermittance of the vibration.  After some time I became too annoyed with it.  After some thought about what could be the cause,  I started to suspect it had something to do with the wifi.  I thought somehow it was aiding in transmiting the vibration from a ringing neighborhood phone or some phone signal somewhere to be felt in my body.  I got so tired of the vibration that I decided to disconnect my wifi and I was not surprised that it stopped.  My internet, wifi, and phone is all bundled together.  Our Cell phones connect as soon as we walk into the house.  The phone and internet connect to the same modem.  The wifi signal penetrates through the walls of the house, it surely passes through our bodies.  My concern is that there may be some harm done over long periods of time.    Since, I experimented with the wifi theory and since I plugged my wifi back in, I have not felt it anymore.

Hi Guys, yeah same here.

Have had sciatica for around 5 years or so but just put it down to wear and tear from life activities; injuries, motorcycle riding for 20 years, few crashes etc.
Recently diagnosed after a backwards fall and xray showed some erosion on L2 and L3 I think.

Now don't chastise me for this, I'm sharing information to helps others.

Never had this almost regular buzzing feeling in my groin towards the rear area, somewhere around the anus but felt further up and inwards.

I sometimes use a tens machine for sexual pleasure, low micro volts, brings awesome climax once you master it lol

Anyway, within a few minutes of finishing this, the buzzing started.
I ignored it as it is common to have 'residual' current in the nerve endings on the area stimulated, and it goes away after half and hour or so.

I've never experienced anything in the affected area that was buzzing this time however.

So, initially I thought it was maybe small amounts of trapped wind working its way through the gut.
But it kept up all day yesterday despite several normal bowel movements and a few moments of flatulence which is normal for me (46 yr old male).

Now that I've read others having same symptoms and back problems it may well be related to the sciatica.
So I'm glad I can relax and not worry about clots, worms etc lol

I too will start an all round multi vitamin program and extra calcium and see how it goes after a few days.
