What Causes Vibration In The Back Of The Thigh When Suffering From Hypertension?
Why would I have vibration in the back of my thigh for the last 4 days? I ve had it before but not for this long. It last for 2-3 seconds about 4-5 times a minute. I m 52 and am taking high blood pressure and cholesterol mess. I m about 30 lbs over weight.

Hello,
* The high blood pressure directly will not pause any alteration in vibration over the back of thigh.
* The possible issue sounds to be some nerve compression at spinal cord level , supplying area of posterior thigh and responsible for the same.
An evaluation with expert neurologist and possible need of MRI lower spine will help great in this regard.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
