What Causes Loss Of Flexion In The Left Foot?

I have a problem with my left foot. It is losing flexibility, and some.numbness in the the toes. When standing or sitting with both feet flat on ground, I can raise my right foot up son the ball of foot rises a few inches of the ground, but cannot make my.left rise. Assuming I should seen a doctor, should I see my regular physician or a foot specialist?

Dear patient
stiffness in left foot with tingling may point towards arthritis in toe joints may be inflammatory or gouty. Xray of the left foot anteroposterior and oblique views will help in confirmation of diagnosis. Visit to foot specialist is recommended. Meanwhile tab ibuprofen 400 mg twice a day for pain relief should be started.
