electric vibrations in my right foot

[peggyinutah]

I occationally feel like electric vibrations in my right foot. at first i thought because i felt it at night that it was just my electric blanket, but yesterday as i was sitting in my patho class and felt it, and now as i sit here writing this every 3-4 seconds i feel not like a tingling but more of a vibrating like himming feeling in only my right foot? what could this be and also over the last couple of days (4) my eye has been twitching like crazy.

I had that same feeling.  I went to a chiropractor and had three massages and adjustments spaced out every couple of days.  It was my sciatic nerve acting up.  I was really tight in my piriform (sp?) muscle and that was pinching my sciatic nerve.  I also use a foam roller to stretch out every day and that helps also.  The vibrations are gone now.

I have the same feeling but in my left foot...not sure what it is...

Last year I had surgery on my knee to remove a sarcoma tumour. After the surgery healed I am left with nerve pain, a neuropathic condition referred to as Causalgia. For over a year I have had physiotherapy plus under a pain specialist from the Cancer Clinic taking Gabapentin, Methadone, and Hydromorph Contin to relieve the pain but with minimal effects. It was suggested I also take Lyrica but that medication is for people who experience nerve pain from a diabetic condition. It is not appropriate for my condition.

I am also taking acupuncture. Although the pain is barely tolerable and sometimes intolerable, there is no progress to further reduce the pain. I have also tried a desensitization process whereby different cloth materials of varying rough textures to "train" nerve pathways to accept touch as a normal feeling rather than as a pain feeling. This has not been successful to date.

Hence, I am left with pain with no relief in sight. I must admit a certain degree of anxiety that this pain condition will be with me for the rest of my life and that it will be necessary to take drugs until I die - not a life-giving thought. Also, drugs give me occasional nightmares.

Has anyone similar experiences and if so have you tried anything else that works for you? Has anyone gone to a neurologist to help them deal with this kind of pain? Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.

this is also a symptom of Anxiety.  I get this buzzing feeling too.

The symptoms you are experiencing sound like a nerve condition. The peroneal nerve if traumatized can cause numbness, tingling, and in more sever cases needle-like insertions into the area affected.
I had surgery about a year ago and the first signs of nerve pain were like electric shocks down my calf to my foot. Have you tried an internet search on nerve pain, neropathy, peroneal nerve etc.?

I am here for the first time, trying to figure out why I too have a "humming" or light "vibration" in the ball of my right foot, intermittent, about ten times a minute, or more. Kind of like I have my foot up against a purring cat.  Anyway, I am looking for answers too... like should I see my doctor, or is it something that is insignificant and will go away on its own... any helpful information would be appreciated.

I also have the same feelings in both of my feet on and off along with some other people that post here, I describe it as almost a buzzing. I have not found anything to link it to except for the Lexapro I am taking.
