Mostly in my legs, but does anyone else’s body vibrate?

Posted by Bones53 @bones53, Jun 8 10:50am

I had a Boston Medical spinal cord stimulator (SCS) installed and I started feeling vibrations in my legs shortly thereafter. At first I thought it was all in my head and that my legs and body were not REALLY & literally vibrating. However recently, during a particularly intense feeling of vibrations, I felt my legs and could literally feel that my legs were indeed VIBRATING!
The vibrating has expanded to cover almost my entire body, but normally occurs from my waist down. The REALLY weird thing is that the battery in my device and in the controller were dead and the device was OFF for at least 6 MONTHS and I STILL feel the vibrations!
Please, does anyone else have experience in body vibrating? Right now, as I’m righting this, my legs feel like they are being massaged by a thousand fingers!

Yes, from the waist down I am numb and almost always vibrating. I can't stand for long because of pain and even my butt falls asleep when sitting. There is no comfortable position anymore.

Have you discussed the symptoms with your doctor or care team?

I have Boston Scientific scs and it is off but I feel vibrations in feet and legs sonetimes up into my stomach! My fingers are numb and I started to become unable to walk I guess due to peripheral neuropathy. Let me know what you find out

Do u have a spinal cord stimulator?

I do not have spinal cord stimulator. Here is my question for you have you been diagnosed with motor neuropathy? Dr Anne Oaklander a research neurologist told me I have tremors in my legs , arms and hands. It causes my legs and hands to shake. She is at Boston General Brigham.
