Twitching/tremor in Pelvic Area

I am 58 years old - post menopaus about 5 years - and have recently developed a strange feeling in my vaginal/pelvic floor area that I can only describe as a vibrating sensation. It feels like a cell phone vibration (sorry - that's the best I can do to describe it). It's very rhythmic, lasts about 2 seconds with 2 seconds in between vibrations. It does not hurt, but is so annoying and distracting that its driving me nuts. The only other symptoms I have, which seem totally unrelated, are a bad case of eczema (hands and legs) and a fungal skin and nail infection on my feet. I'm on meds for hypothyroidism, blood pressure and cholesterol. Just had bloodwork done and everything was normal.

Hello, I had this same buzzing/vibrating feeling on the left side of my vaginal wall.  It was driving me crazy; it made me feel very anxious; I couldnot eat or sleep. It lasted about 4 days. I went to my general doctor who thought it was stress related and prescibed an anti-depressant. I also saw my gynecologist, who did a very thorough exam and found nothing. However, she prescribed flexiril muscle relaxer. After taking both a couple of times the vibration stopped.  I do believe it is from stress affecting the lower back area, specifically the ligaments in that area. Also, I want to mention prayer, I was on my face praying for relief from this condition.  So far so good.  It has been almost 1 week since I felt it.  Please pray and ask God to show you where and what might be your deliverance from this very irritating condition.

I have had this "twitching" sensation off and on (mostly off thank goodness) during the last 25 years.  It is on the left inside of my labial wall.  I notice that when I have a body massage and the therapist works on my left glut, the twitching becomes intense and unconfortable.  It almost feels like the buttock muscle (piriformis?) needs deep trigger point pressure to release it.  When I go thru these episodes I sometimes have difficulty sitting and would rather stand and put the pressure downward where it relieves the twitching.  I have deduced over the years that it does indeed seem to be stress related and goes away with time.  It is amazing how the body releases stress...and annoying!

I've been having the occasional sensation of a cell phone going off in my pants' pockets for several years now (happens every few weeks or so). I'm 48.  No family history of parkinson's.  I heard Fresh Air w/terry gross the other day - she was interviewing a filmmaker who just did a Nova documentary on PBS about his parkinson's disease - and he mentioned this exact symptom as his earliest indication that he had parkinson's.  I'm scared witless right now.  Anybody ever hear this before, or know of other explanations for that cell phone sensation?

My grandfathered had Parkinson's disease.  I was also listening to the Fresh Air interview and heard the guest mention the feeling of a cell phone vibrating in his pocket.  My heart just about stopped!  I had this vibrating feeling twice in the past few weeks.  I've been on pins and needles since hearing that show.  However, I found something that may be of some help.  See the posting by RxAnn: http://forums.wrongdiagnosis.com/showthread.php?p=86904

I had a Mirena put in yesterday and I also have the vibrating sensation everyone here is describing (cell phone buzzing).  The Mirena was inserted during surgery which also included removal of a polyp.  

I don't know if it is only a coincedence or if it is due to the Mirena.  I will ask my doctor when I see him for a follow-up on April 14th.  I will let you know what he says.

Thanks

I thought I was going crazy! Mine started about a week ago on the first day of my period. I thought that the vibrations were somehow related to the menstrual blood leaving my body as I have a heavy flow and was wearing a pad that day. But the vibrations continued after my period was over. And it's just as everyone else described as the sensation of a cell phone vibrating in your pocket or on the couch. Then I thought it could be from over use of my vibrator...but that doesn't seem to be a common thread here!

Would be wonderful if someone had an answer!
