Dear patient you have got neuropathy in left foot and lost an ke reflex is a part of neuropathy. According to your history you have undergone back surgery what was done and why it was done. Surgery was done at what spinal level? All things should be mentioned if you know about it. I think you have got compressive neuropathy which is leading to all problems. Kindly get an mri spine done ant it will help for diagnosis and planning further treatment.
