A member asked:
Went in for back pain.dr says no reflexes in my left leg. he says nothing to be concerned about only one leg. should i be concerned? what causes that?

Tricky: Sometimes knee jerk may not elicit response. If you truly has no reflex in the left leg that will require further evaluation
