A member asked:

My doctor found non sustained left ankle clonus not long ago but said its common and not to worry. should i take his advice or see someone else?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sustained Clonus: Sustained ankle clonus is never a normal finding. Seek another opinion for a cause. The issue may be benign and nothing to worry about, but is not normal. One to beats may be possibly normal.
