    Lack of knee reflexes

    Has anyone else found out that they don’t have the knee jerk reflex? I’ve only just found out and my mind is working overtime worrying that there is some serious underlying neurological problem.

    Hi

    How do you know you don't have a knee reflex? I am not sure this is something you can test yourself.

    It’s where you tap on the tendon just below the knee cap when your leg is bent and your foot kicks up by itself. Someone else taps it for you. My husband used the edge of his hand. His works but mine doesn’t.

    Neither of you are doctors so equating this to a neurological issue is a huge stretch at best.
