no good vibrations

I googled "vibrations in feet" and was brought here, where I found that others had the same purring sensations in one or both feet, in my case, primarily the right foot(and occasionally the left). This began about 4 days ago- I was on the computer and I really did think that there were one too many appliances in the house on, given the heat and all.  I thought, oh no- better turn something off- this isnt good... Pretty hillarious.  As I am sitting here writing this several days later, I also have the purring going on and off every 4 seconds. I have been taking neurontin for 5 years at 1200 mgs a day, I DO work standing on my feet for prolonged time periods, I have nerve pain in my hands/feet primarily that comes and goes, and I have osteoarthritis in my left hand (I am left handed) and probably a little carpal from repetitive motion. Oh, and I am a 39 year old woman whose occupation is a makeup artist. Why is there no diagnosis for this vibrating sensation we are all feeling? Pretty strange...


This discussion is related to faint vibration or 'humming' sensation.

I've had diziness and vertigo for 3 years and the vibrations began about a year and a half ago.

With much research I found that ultrasound waves can cause these conditions. I am exploring that cause now.

I've got it too, mainly left foot as that is where the vast majority of my neuropathy is. It's not painful...just 'there'. Mine is pretty profound - it feels like there is a massager IN my foot. It's not a surface feeling at all.

My friend who works in the neuro lab said 'yeah that's nerve' but until you get a diagnosis beyond that it's tough.

I'm currently on that path - I have neuropathy, trigeminal neuralgia, fibromyalgia, problems walking that come and go and profound fatigue along with a bunch of other junk. I'll be turning 34 darn soon.

I'd mention it to your doc the next time you're in. I know it's hard going 'what the heck??' and not having any answers for it.

I just got this 2 days ago and thought it was maybe an appliance.  But it's not and it is still happening.  It is not painfull, just annoying.  I was on Lyrica for a while for nerver damage and that would help relieve the pain.  I wonder if the two are related?  Any doctors out there know anything?  I am 34 years old.
