Twitching/tremor in Pelvic Area

[anadonne]

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.

Just an update - a couple of months later, the vibrating stopped as mysteriously as it started. I have no idea what caused it, but I'm glad it's gone (at least it seems to be). Has anyone ever found out what caused their vibration? I've been having a pins and needles feeling in my upper back and am wondering if all of this is due to pinched nerves in spine.

I have the vibrating sensation in the pelvic bone area for around a year.  The first time it happened that I noticed I thought my cell phone in my pocket was vibrating.  It is a strange sensation to start at age 60.  I am a healthy women who has a healthy lifestyle.  I often wondered if it was beginning of Parkinson's since my mom had that.  I also wondered if it had anything to do with Osteoporosis since just in the last year I have had some bone loss to spine and now take extra calcium.  It must be a common thread among women, whatever the cause.  Thanks for the website because it helped me with my view of this ...Ann

The feeling is very different from a twitching....the description of a vibration is very accurate.  It doesn't feel the same to me as a twitch that I have occasionally had in my eye...so much that many are mistaking it for thinking they have a cell phone in their pocket!  Mine is not regular intervals.

Hi,

Yes it feels like the twitch that one gets in the eye when under stress. The only thing is it is occurring regularly in your case.
It can even due to tingling nerves in the perineal region. However nothing can be said for sure.

Thanks for the reply, Dr Noopur. I really thought I was crazy until I searched on MedHelp and found so many other people that posted with this symptom. Is this like a twitch you get in your eye caused by stress? It's so weird I don't even know how to describe it to my doctor. Can it be caused by anything other than stress?
