Vibrations in my left leg

I am wondering why I feel a vibration in my left leg.  When it first started I thought it was my cell phone ringing but my phone was not in my pocket.  I feel the vibration all day long and it has a pattern to it.  It is a weired feeling and I can not figure out what causes this and why it will not go away.  Can you tell me why I feel this?

I am glad I found this post.  I was hit by a drunk driver almost 8 years ago.  I sustained several inuries that resulted in several titanium implants.  One of my worst injuries was a double compoud fracture to my left femur.  The scar tissue has adhered nearly to the bone in my thigh.  To this day, I can't even stand to have someone blow air on it.  I have a lot of nerve damage throughout my arms and legs.  I also have a great deal of pain.  

A have new and strange sensations almost on a daily basis.  I was told 7 years ago, that I was the best I would ever be, and it was basically downhill for me at that point.  Although, I don;t let it slow me down, and I rarely complain or even limp.  I don't have time for that.  But there are times, like today, where I just want to sit and cry because of all of the pain.

One new addition is this strange vibration in my left leg, where I had the horrible fracture.  I kept thinking that my cell phone was near my leg, but it wasn't.  This weird sensation is actually going on right now.  I just attribute everything to the severity of my injuries and nerve damage.  But, should anyone find anything else new about this, please post.  My next doctor visit may be to a neurologist, which has been a long time coming.  I'm glad to hear that there are others experiencing the same thing.  Sometimes I think it has to be in my head.  For everyone's sake, I just hope it is nothing significant.

Hi there, Is the sensation u have true vibration or more like pins & needles? If it is truly vibration, I have had it in my pelvic area & down both my legs for almost 2 months now! It has increased more & more every few days! I finally got my mri results last week & I will now be having back surgery on Monday morning, due to 3 herniated disc that are compressing nerves in my spine!May I ask u some ?'s?? How long have u had the vibrations?have u had any tingling, numbness??How about the pins & needles I mentioned before? Pain of any degree? U should keep track(i'd write it down!) when this started,so u know how long it has lasted, & write any new sensations /symptoms..no matter how minor u think they are! They may increase rapidly, I know from experience & it helps to know all this stuff! Of course there is probably many possibilities for the cause of this, but I can tell you nerve impengement is definitely 1 of them!! Do u have any back problems?back pain?  Best of luck to ya,Brandy

Just to let you know, I'm having the exact same symptoms.  Exactly! I told my wife the exact same story about the cell phone.  Let me know as you know more, and I'll do the same. ***@****

Hi, It could be muscle fassicuation( twitch ), or too much stress to leg bone. Have you seen a neurophysician to get investigated. What is the duration since it started and how is it progressing. Are you diabetic/hypertensive/smoker or consume alcohol regularly.
Please update about the visit.
Take care.
