Brief Answer:
Mild muscle spasms

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You have noticed a vibration feeling on the side of your leg in the pocket area. This is a common problem and probably due to mild muscle spasms or twitching. There is nothing per se that is causing the problem. It should resolve in a few days. I recommend drinking plenty or fluids to maintain good hydration, avoid caffeine and some gentle walking exercises.

If you do use your cell phone in your pocket I would recommend removing the phone and placing it somewhere else that may not be associated with the leg

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any further questions
