I've never used the vibrate feature for my cell phone before but two weeks ago I started using it. The phone is clipped to my right side belt so when it vibrates I feel it in my right thigh. Just yesterday I thought my phone was ringing (vibrating) several times but when I went to answer it no one was there and no missed calls. The next time it happened I just put my hand on the phone ... It wasn't vibrating ... But I could feel a vibration in my thigh where the phone vibration usually was. The duration is the same as the phone ring and usually happend a couple of times in a row but the feeling is actually a little duller then the real vibration from the phone. And it's not at the surface of the leg it feels more like it's vibrating inside the muscle but it's not a muscle twitch or spasm or at least I can't feel anything twitching. Someone suggested maybe it's a pinched nerve.

I did find one other co-worker who said he's experienced the same thing before. He said he just moves his phone to the other side for a while and it eventually goes away.

It's been happening fairly regularly since yesterday. No pain but it's just so wierd feeling! I've put my phone back to ring now so hopefully it will go way.

I tried searching for similar experiences but only found a few references to phantom vibration syndrome. While some seemed serious, most refered to it jokingly.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks,
