What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation On The Left Side Of The Body?
I have been having numbness and tingling on the left side of my body. Started with my foot, it was very sensitive to cold and then areas of numbness. Then the next day it went up the outer side of my leg. Worked its way up over the next couple of days to my hip, buttocks and stomach area. Mostly numbness and then tingling like it went to sleep and somewhat painful at times. At night my carpal tunnel in my left hand has gotten much worse with the onset of these other symptoms.
