Hi Guys
Yes im still here lurking in the background (lol).

A Question if i may.

Ok i know we are all weird in some way right   (lololol)  pmsl " Literately " hahaha  Hope i made u too (hehehe) only kidding.

Right as weird as it sounds here goes.

I have Reflexes Above my Knees were your thighs meet ur knees above the knee caps  OK now u know why i said it was weird.
Does anyone else have this.

See my Neuro on Tuesday 24th and want to know if i should mention this.

Many Thanks in advance for your advice.

Be Well and Take Care

The last time I saw my Neuro it was only by hitting me above my knee as you described on my right leg that he got a reflex jerk from it. So either that is normal or we are both weird. :)

I would think it was a normal reflex, or perhaps a bit of hyperreflexia.  It wouldn't hurt to ask your neuro, though.

hi jen
it is a reflex like you have when the doctor taps your knee,  only this is above the knee were  your  thigh meets your knee not on the knee its self.

See i told you it was a weird question (lol)

Sorry this is the only way i can descibe it ,my legs jerks out when you tap above the knees.
The reason i discovered this was my son was playing and hit my leg with the pillow and my leg kicked right out like the doc did reflex test only he hit me with the pillow above my knee.

Sorry if this sounds mad, i just wondered if anyone could explain whats happening ? is it normal ? and should i tell the neuro about this .

Thanks for taking the time to try and help i really do appreciate all the advice i can get on this, and who better to ask but my forum family.

Kindest Regards

What do you mean, reflexes?  Like you're getting weird sensations?
