General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi. Weakness on one side of body with attendant history you have provided make me suggest you to go for an MRI of brain and check-up by a Neurologist. It is a small possibility of having local problems in the left limbs due to trauma causing spasm of muscles and with a sequel of fibromyocitis.
