Neurology - buzzing in foot
I'm a healthy 47 female. I go to the gym regularly and am pretty thin (5'11", 140lbs). Occasionally, I get an intermittent vibration or buzzing on the inside of my right foot...between the heel and arch. I will experience this buzzing for a day or two and then it will subside. I've also had some hip pain from certain things that I do at the gym. My question is can they be related? Could a pinched nerve be the cause? I have no muscle weakness or pain. Are there any stretches or activities that I should pursue or avoid relating to the buzzing?

Hi there!
These may or may not be related. Buzzing or vibratory sensation can be caused by peripheral neuropathies, muscular dystrophies, demyelinating disorders of the nervous system, nerve pressure or damage etc. Rarer possibilities that may need to be considered are hormonal/ endocrine imbalances, micronutrient deficiencies etc. It would be best to get your symptoms evaluated by a neurologist and an orthopedician. A complete evaluation may involve a physical examination and a few tests like some blood tests, nerve conduction studies, electromyography, imaging studies such as CT/ MRI etc. After a cause(s) is diagnosed, it can be managed accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Take care!

Could be. I've had issues in the past. Didn't know if could cause foot buzzing. I'll try the what they say, and may get some new shoes. Thanks.
It sounds like it's all related to Sciatica! check the Exercises For Sciatica video at
