What Causes Vibration Like Sensations In Upper Thigh To Groin Area?

Hello I am 39 years old and have been diagnosed with TRANSVERSE MYELITIS June 2013. I have had some new symptoms arise recently. First, let me explain that I am not paralyzed. I suffer from neuropathy, leg, back, arm pain. I have muscle jerks that have progressively gotten worse. I am getting 3 more MRI s cervical, brain, lumbar. But one thing I did not mention to my Dr because I forgot (that s another thing / my memory is getting worse, I can forget a word in the middle of a sentence) is that I have buzzing feelings, like my cell phone is on vibrate, in my upper thigh to groin area. I am also getting another EMG UPPER AND LOWER (my numbrs last time in my legs were 3 s, 4 s, some 6 s and 9 s). I will be getting an EEG and also a possible 72 hr study. They are looking into possibly MS and ALS. So, can you please explain to me what these vibrations are and are they associated with MS or ALS. Thank you so much. Dianna C.

Neurologist 's  Response
as u mentioned u had transverse myelitis. ....these symptoms may be residual sensory deficit/ cramps.Considering ur age....ALS is very unlikely. It may be MS.... and if it is then u may need DMARDs.
I don't think NCS and EMG will give any useful information. Insteadget ur MRI brain with Contrast done.
regards.
