What Causes Vibrating Sensation In Coccyx Area?

I have a strange vibrating sensation in my coccyx area, it feels like a vibrating cell phone, it repeats every 10 seconds or so, and has been happening the past 3 days. I do a lot of lifting at work, helping to transfer residents, but i have never had any surgery or trauma to this area. Can you tell me what might be causing this?

due to heavy lifting work there may be sacral disc herniation which causes numbness and abnormal sensation in sacral area. but you have no severe root pain , motor deficit or difficulty on urination. so you can go for conservative treatment with drug like amitryptyline 10 mg after consult your doctor. if symptom not relieved than go for spinal MRI LUMBOSACRAL SPINE
