I've been having this sensation in my groin area for about 2 weeks and of course it's difficult to explain to people.  I am 57 and overweight and thinking it may have to do with my extra stomach weight hitting a nerve?  I did phone my dr who told me to go to the E-room to have it checked (he was concerned with an aorta aneurysm), but the E-room doc acted like I was crazy being there - I have low blood pressure & no family medical history of aneurysms.  He pressed all over my lower stomach and didn't find anything of concern.  So, I guess I'll just live with it while it lasts and not worry anymore about it.  It reminds me of feeling life during my pregnancies - which is a really fond memory :o)

Wow, It's nice to know that I'm not alone in this.  I've been experiencing this problem for about a year.  It started in my chest and has spread to my lower abdomen (pelvic area).  It doesn't seem like there are too many people who have an answer.  I guess this is just one more thing that will remain a mystery.  It seems some have found relief from a chiropracter.  Maybe I'll give that a try.

I started buzzing/vibrating 3 days ago.  It is intermittent, sometimes feels rhythmic like a pattern.  Family and friends think you're losing it.  I wanted to run immediately to the Dr. but figured they wouldn't find the culprit.  I agree with most of the posts with the relation to back problems.  I've been going to physical therapy and it's making my symptoms worse- low back pain, numbness in 3 toes on left foot awaiting an MRI of the spine in the next few weeks.  I was diagnosed with scoiliosis as a child and I do have sciatic pain.  Strangest symptom I've ever experienced.  I was afraid until I found this forum- thanks for all of the info.  If anyone gets the answer, please post it for the rest of us.  Thanks!!!

I'm yet another lady with a buzz issue. 30 years old. I never thought I was crazy but I was neverous about telling anyone about it. I have no clue what could be the cause because I don't have the medical issues of other people here.

8 out of 10 americans have backpain so that can't tell us the cause.
Well over 50% of us sit at a desk all day so that doesn't help either.
The only information that seems to be significant is what has WORKED for people. I've read here that chiropractor and some massage has worked? That supports the nerve theory. So does the 'going away on it's own' solution. Any other remedies? What has worked for you all?

Glad to know I'm not going crazy, although this buzzing might drive me crazy!  I've had it for a few days now in the lower right groin area. I am pre-menopausal, 49 years old, and just got my period. Feels almost like a nervous twitch.  Very strange sensation to say the least!

A coping strategy that works for me: a vibrating pillow.
I noticed that the buzzing disappears, or is at least sufficiently masked, when I'm in a moving vehicle. I wondered if it had something to do with the vibration of the car, so I went to Wal-Mart and bought a vibrating pillow, which I either sit on or place up against my vaginal area. This saved my sanity and gave me back the little things that I thought were lost to me due to the buzzing: watching TV, reading, and other quiet activities. And it allows me to sleep peacefully, thank God.
