Reflex response different in right and left leg.......

Hi.....I am a 42 (will be 43 next month) y/o female who has been having a lot of mystery symptoms going on lately. Balance issues, memory issues, electric shocks down my spine, limbs jerking, trouble regulating body temp, etc.....

I started physical therapy today for neck pain. When the therapist tested my patellar reflexes, there was a noticeable difference in the responses. My right leg barely moved while my left leg was a very different response. Meaning you could definitely see the reaction. He repeated the reflex test three more times on both knees. Same reaction every time. The last two times were on bare skin......same reaction. The first two times were done through yoga pants BTW.

I am just wondering if this difference in responses could be an indication of anything? I have a Neurology consult on April 5th but suddenly that seems like a long way away......

Thanks in advance for any replies!
Lisa
