Hi,
As you have a history of fall 2 years back and x-ray was normal, There might be some problem at lower vertebrae. I'll suggest you to go for MRI lower spine. Due to trauma there may be nerve compression on left side causing numbness. Treatment will depend upon MRI report. In the meantime you can have lumbar fortress, Vit B12 and physiotherapy for numbness and pain.
Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
