Yeah, me too. I got this thing. Decided to finally worry about it just today. Worried my thigh was picking up aberrations from my heart, or some clot in process was causing this. Reading everyone's experience here, wonder if nerves in area become conditioned to "hear" for cell vibe, maybe some kind of hypersensitivity results? Human thighs have been around for millions of years, but only in past few have been responding functionally to a cell vibe frequency. This could be some kind of short-term "trauma" to nerves and/or environmental phenomenon tricking nerves. I'm gonna keep my cell phone elsewhere and see if this crazy thing goes away in time.

Cripes.

This is nuts! Exactly the same thing happened to me today. Right thigh, in the pocket area. Instantly reached for my phone which I then realised I never keep in that pocket.

It's rhythmic but intermittent, I can go for hours without it and then suddenly it'll start up for an hour or so. I really didn't think I'd find anyone with the same problem on the internet whatsoever. I'm 28 years old and I'm in pretty reasonable shape. Guess I'll start eating bananas a little more and see what happens as a few people have suggested that.

How strange that no one seems to know the name of the affliction.

OMG im so glad I found this site
I too have been having the vibration like a cell phone going off. It started last Friday Sept 19 2009 at my doctor appointment after I had already seen him and as I was waiting to have blood work before going home. It just started for the first time, I thought I was nuts sitting there vibrating in my left leg near my groin area. Then I just thought it was some vibration from the parking garage as the clinic sits atop it, I didn't really think anything about it and then it just stoped. I came home about and hour later and put in a movie with surround sound and it started again I thought it was just the vibrations from the surround, but then it stoped and started up again later when I was standing in the kitchen making dinner. I thought I was going crazy. I waited 2 days after and it was still coming and going, I was worried it had something to do with my heart or blood pressure 168/110 so I called the DR, went in to a convient care clinic and of course by the time they got to me it stoped again. Dr said there is a long mussel there and it could be spasming and feel like a rubber band being pulled on or a vibration. Im not sure she really knew. I asked if she had heard of this before and she said no. Now it is the following Friday and it has continued all week off and on and as im typing this right now it is vibrating again. I however have no cell phone nor do I use one. So if anyone knows anything about this mysterious vibration please let us know. Pleaseeeeeeeeee

Just an update on mine. As with many people my vibrations eventually stopped. They ceased about 6 days after they started, I'm personally thinking it was either anxiety related or in some way connected to the pulling of a muscle or trapping of a nerve temporarily.

No one on any site seems to have ever come back and reported anything serious as a result of this. So the first thing I would do is relax if you find yourself suffering from it. Several people noted that it took weeks for it to disappear completely.

I have the vibration in my lower pelvic area also. It vibrates to my pulse beat at times. It seems to be worse after I jog. It drives me crazy. I don't carry my cell phone on me but I have thought a few times it was in my lap when the buzzing began.

I have had this same experience this week. I finally had to look it up. It happens exactly where my phone usually is next to my thigh in my left pant pocket. The weird thing is that I very rarely use my vibration feature. Maybe only once every few months.

It's a little like the feeling I've had before when a muscle is very tired and it sort of flutters.

hi ,

i immediately post a reply to this thread without reading all posts because i feel the same thing. Howver, i find it amusing that i only feel the vibration now. I had my N70 phone before with also in vibration mode but i am not feeling the phantom vibration syndrome. Howver, now that my phone was change to nokia E51, i feel now the vibration. Is this because of the change in phone?
Also, recently i started playing badminton and i stretch my thighs a lot after badminton for cool down. I read from the earlier posts that the vibrations are like damging DNAs...so is it probably the stretching thing that cause or enhance this?

hello reft ,

do you jog a lot? I play badminton a lot recently and i stretch my thighs after that so probably this is enhancing the vibration mode of the cell. I wasn't feeling this when i had the N70 mobile which is purely in vibration mode for around 1 year and i haven't been stretching my legs at that time.

some users here mentioned that they dont put in vibration on their cell but do some exercise. Well, i do a lot of it due to stretching and i have also my cell on vibration mode. I also have been taking iron supplement before i felt this so i am rich in iron. I have lost weight for a year now but i only feel this recently like two weeks ago. I feel this on my left thigh.

I would call this an internal vibration. i have had them for the past 3 months and my doctors says its anxiety. The vibratiosn I was feelinf during the day are gone but the nights ones are stilll there everynight. Anybody experiencing the vibrations at night?
