ever experience a vibrating sensation in lower abdomen?

Okay, so for over a week I have been experiencing a vibrating sensation in my lower abdomen.  It is like a weak cell phone or pager going off every so often and lasting about 5-10 seconds.  I am still going through all the testing for MS and am under the "official diagnosis" of suspected MS.  Although most of my symptoms have subsided since becoming pregnant with number four 11 weeks ago.  I at first assumed I am just very aware to fetal movement by this point, but have been told it is WAY to early to feel the baby.  So I googled the symptom and read that it is not uncommon, pregnant or not, but could be nerve impulses.  So who better to ask than all my friends here.  So any one else ever feel this sensation?

Hi LL - Welcome to the group.

This is a pretty old post. It as last updated almost 2 years ago and many of the original participants, including Maks322, no longer visit. I just didn;t want you to think you were being ignored :-)

Why not Post A Question and introduce yourself. We're a friendly bunch ;-)

I am also on neurotin., and I also have been having this sensation for over a year.  Makes me wonder if it's a drug side effect, or a nerve reaction.

This year I started having the vibration sensation in my left breast area;  feels like you have a cell phone or bee in your bra buzzing around.  I googled it and found others had the same sensations in different areas.  It comes and goes. This past week, I started to get it in my lower right quadrant/pelvic area.  I keep checking my pocket for my phone & no phone in my pocket.  Strange it is now on the other side and much lower.  I did have a serious knee/chin injury from a fall last April 2013 which is still swollen from 4" above the knee to 6-8" below the knee & pain with no diagnosis.  This new buzzing happens about every three- four minutes.  I had a bad fall the year (April 2012, April isn't a good month for me) before where I injured my left iliac crest, low hip & pelvic area.  8 specialists later they just keep telling me I have a little bursitis & keep wanting to inject the joint, but they ignore the pain in the iliac crest, buttocks & pelvic & pubic bone area.  16 months after that injury I finally found the North Penn Hernia Institute online & insisted I be checkd for a left Inguinal Hernia since I have all the referred pain symptoms..guess what I have a damn Inguinal Hernia that not one doctor could diagnose.  So here I am googling again but this time for buzzing that I haven't found any real answers except for the fact the the hernia can affect the lower bowels & maybe that is what it is, but it is on the wrong side.  Keep googling, one of us might just find the answer we all need!

I really wish someone would say what this is!  Mine is right above my pubic bone, and it occurs constantly.  I can't imagine that there are so many people with this!  It does feel like a cell phone on vibrate!  I have no insurance, or else I would go see my doctor!

I am undx'd but experienced this in my left foot and lower leg so strongly I thought my cat was sitting on or next to my leg purring! Of course, cat was nowhere to be seen. I frequently experience lower level vibration in legs, especially in morning and sometimes throughout whole body. So the intensity for me anyway seems variable.

I am male, quite fit and see that this is a common aliment, which is a relief to me, but I do not see many replies which actually pinpoint (no pun intended) the cause.

I have tingling - much akin to what others describe as a mild mobile/cell phone vibration in the central region just above my penis - and it is sporadic, not painful, just annoying.  I haven't had it for months, and now when on holiday, it returned.

I try not to eat carbs, and even brought with me on holiday my home made flaxseed bread.  But of course on holiday it is difficult not to succumb to chips/fries and pastry!

Perhaps it will go away after getting back to normal?

I get vibrations mainly in abdomal area at night. they vary in intensity and often occure in a rythmic pattern like three short buzzes then stop over and over and this can go on for hours. some nights it may be continuous vibration without the strange rythym but either way it is hard to ignore and i am very aware of it which makes it hard to sleep.  i have been experiencing this for several years now and have questioned several doctors and none seem to have any answers.  obviously i am not alone and hope for the day i find out how to prevent it.

Ok, so im reading all these comments about this vibrating feeling. Does anyone know what it is? I've started feeling this recently and decided to look it up. Im relieved to hear it wasn't just in my head. And that I'm not the only one. However, i would like to know the cause of this. Any answers?

I'm new here, really just got on yesterday. I was amazed to see this post. I have had the same thing for a while. Comes and goes. I would check my pocket for my phone wondering why my hip or abdomen was vibrating. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one having this.

Yes, I had that happen before & it must've been bad bc it almost felt like my entire bed was vibrating!! I called my mom bc it scared me. I am diagnosed with dysautonomia (multi-system), iritis (INNER eye inflammation- indicator for an autoimmune disease) and just received a positive lumbar puncture for MS.  
You are NOT alone.

I have the same sensation.  Mine feels like a cell phone going off in my lower abdomen.  I actually described this exactly that way to my mother before looking on the internet to see  what might cause this.  Mine comes and goes.  I will have it for several days (sporadically) and then not have it for several weeks.  It's back right now, and that's why I decided to look on line for advice.  Has anyone figured out what causes this?

Wow. Here I am imagining the worst and thinking my dr. is going to send me to a psychiatrist! I've never heard anyone mention this vibration feeling either, and I'm 57 years old. So I'm off to my dr. today to see what he says. Going to tell him about this thread and how easy it was to find others with my symptoms!

You might want to start a new thread so people will respond to your question. This thread is quite old.

I recently development this phone vibrating feeling in my left lower ab.  I thought I had my phone in my pocket and got nervous when I didn't.  I have had it for only a couple of weeks now.  Should I go and get checked as well or is this a dead end road for everyone?

That's where mine is. Thought I was cuckoo. Didn't even mention it to my Dr when I saw her this week.
