foot without reflex

the neuro. scrapped the bottom of my foot and could not get it to jump like it used to.  he kept trying but nothing happened.  I thought this was important but nothing was said and when I asked my physician, he said this was normal.  whats it mean if the foot doesn't react?

Hi,
I have had little to no reflex in my feet for the past 5-8 years, maybe. I am fully mobile still, and my MD never says much about it either. If my memory serves me, when it was first noticed she did state that it was not a-typical of a person w/ MS.
Best to you, and don't sweat the small things...

No response is indifferent meaning normal.
