Question: numbness start in hand all way feet
Brief Answer:
A neurological condition to consider.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read the question that you posted and understand your concerns.
Numbness is mainly an attribute of the nervous system dysfunction, so, since there is a localization in the left extremities, a problem ( compression ) of your cervikal spinal cord or right side of the brain ( a lesion for example ) should be considered.
Multiple sclerosis also may result in such symptoms.
Before to go further with tests such MRI, a neurological examination is necessary.
Discuss with your Neurologist about these issues.
Hope you found the answer helpful

Brief Answer:
MS to consider then.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.
Okay then, multiple sclerosis should be considered as a possibility.
Besides brain MRI, it is necessary for a cervical spinal cord MRI too, and, probably for a spinal tap and cerebrospinal fluid examination about oligoclonal bands.
Discuss with your Neurologist about these issues.
Hope this helps.
