Vibrations?

I am glad I found this forum. I received my Medtronic pacemaker in November 2012. I have felt a small vibration at the base of my spine (comes and goes) from when I got the implant. My dr says "the battery isn't big enough to be felt that far away". I decided it was just one of those things you have to live with until lately instead of feeling it for microseconds, I now feel it for 30 sec to a minute..... The Medtronic rep says that the unit checks out and that it not it.
My question.... has anyone else had this problem and is there anything to correct it...... it doesn't hurt but is bothersome.
I Googled this a couple nights ago and found an article (very scientific so it was for doctors) that talked about sometimes 3000 rpm vibrations cause problems for some patients but of course now that I want to print it for the dr I can not find it again....
Thanks for any help.
