What Causes Numbness In The Left Side Of The Body?
having numbness on the LH side of the body for about 4 years now. Have not been able to get a diagnosis. may be having poor circulation on the L leg, since when I worked out my left calf seemed cold compared to my right leg. Numbness in the L arm, l leg, and left side of face and neck. Treated by a epeliptologist at this time, but not getting better. Have had a full battery of testing including short hospital stay with extensive testing. Not sure where to go at this point.

Hello,
It may be due to peripheral neuropathy.
For further assessment you may require MRI neck and back, vit b 12, nerve conduction studies after orthopedician consultation.
Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition.
Take balanced diet and keep your self hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
