What Causes Vibrating Sensation In Right Foot?

default
Posted on Fri, 7 Aug 2015
Question: Hi,
I have been having a vibrating-like sensation in my feet, specifically my right foot. It all started when one day I was sitting and thought that the floor underneath me was vibrating. I moved and I noticed it was still vibrating and then I noticed it's actually my foot and not the floor. I had the same feeling for about 4 days straight, and now I have it from time to time. Is it possible that it stems from my lower back? Sometimes I feel pain in my lower back.
When my foot vibrates it doesn't hurt but it definitely feels strange and I decided to check and ask what it could be since it has been going on and off for almost 2 months now.
Thanks.

It could be related to lower back condition.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for posting your query here at HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

The answer to your question is yes, foot vibration sense could stem from your lower back.

Most probably it is related to a pinched nerve that may result in different strange sensations from vibration to numbness and pain.

Hope this helps. I remain at your disposal for further questions and clarifications.

Take care.
