Doctor: Reflexes are how your body reacts.
Man: Reacts?
Doctor: Yes, for instance, if I tap my knee with this hammer, it reacts. You see.

I think it should be two sentences, or separated by a conjunction.
Come on. Hit it.
Come on and hit it.
Go ahead and hit it.

‘Come on now’ is idiomatic and common, so it should stay as it is.

It means pain.
