A member asked:
I have fibromyalgia. i don't know if there's any connection, but at a recent physical, i did not have a left patellar reflex. the doctor didn't say anything, but it is a concern. can fibro affect this?

Loss : Loss of a reflex is common and may (or may not) represent a problem such as a pinched nerve (sciatica) in the lower back. However, i know of no association between loss of a reflex and fibromyalgia.

Fibro & reflexes: The connection is doubtful. I do not have reflexes either. Not everyone responds, and it has nothing to do with the muscle soreness of fibromyalgia.
