A member asked:

I am 7 1/2 months pregnant and have recently noticed a vibrating sensation in my left heel...what would cause this?

Nerve related: Pregnancy can cause low back pain which in turn can cause the vibration symptoms you are speaking of, or, pregnancy, can also cause lower extremity swelling. Swelling in turn can cause pressure on nerves, which can produce the sensations you are feeling.

Hard to answer: Many things could cause this, with pregnancy this may be a nerve root issue due to increased strain in your lumbar spine. If persistent or worsening, see your pcp or ob/gyn for appropriate referral.

Pregnancy : Many things can cause it but my guess is when pregnant the ligaments get loose and could compensate. Dcheck with OB gyn for correct referral.
