What Causes Vibrating Sensation In Groin?

Weird but painless vibrating in my groin between the testicles and anus. Is that an artery problem, or a nerve problem? It blurs a few seconds, stops a couple seconds, starts again. I do have peripheral artery disease and a herniated lumbar disc--doctor gave me Celebrex August 1st and this feeling started happening last night, is much stronger and more frequent today!

Hello!
I read the question and understand your concern.
In my opinion the troubles you have may be caused be a nerve irritation in this region probably sacral plexus S2-S4. I would like to know your age.
This irritation may be caused by a lesion in the pelvis tumural or inflammatory, degenerations of sacral bone, a pathologic fracture of sacral bones from osteoporosis, or even a peripheral vascular disease.
I would recommend further tests like a routine blood test, a pelvic ultrasound and a CT scan of the sacral region with intravenous contrast to examine all the structure of sacral region.
In the meantime I would recommend treatment with gapabentine or pregabaline which is very helpful for your troubles.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes Dr Abaz
