Brief Answer:
Probably a compression of the nerves, follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Numbness in the body is usually related to a compression of the nerves.

Other possible causes can be diabetes, which can damage the nerve fibers.

I suggest the following examinations to confirm the diagnosis:

A complete blood count

Glycemic blood level

An x-ray or a CT scan of the column

Meanwhile, I suggest to take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen 400 mg, three tablet a day to treat the symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
