How long do you have this problem? Is it continuous or intermittent? Is the onset of vibration or numbness is gradual or sudden? Is that happens only with left thigh or both sides? Does it radiates?

You should do back stretching and strengthening exercises with proper guidance.
You should do Quadriceps and Hamstring stretching and strengthening exercises with proper guidance.

If only a specific area is affected, the nerve might be compressed. Try desensitization lightly with a cotton cloth. In your case, try to lightly stroke the area with a cotton cloth but it should be very light. If you feel the burning sensation increasing stop right there.
Health Tips
Wear loose clothing, comfortable to that area. Try no to scratch or rub.

Hi
As you said you are an IT professional , the symptoms you were saying might be due to long duration of sitting hours and as in this pandemic you must be working from home so please do check your sitting posture, chair or couch you sir to work. Please take breaks in between work and do little mild stretches for back.
This vibration might be due to muscle soreness. Try ice packs over the thigh and then do stretches.
Next Steps
Please do keep a watch on your weight and do some walking everyday for 45 mind which alleviate your symptoms.

Hi,
Sounds like a consequence of long hours of work in a sitting posture.. poor posture can affect the health of the disc in the lower spine which in turn results in pain, tingling and numbness in your lower body.
You can consult me to take this forward!
Next Steps
consult for a rehab protocol and ergonomic advise.
