What Causes Numbness In The Left Foot?
I m experiencing left foot numbness. Left side of my foot and last 3 toes. I ve have 3 back surgeries but that was in 2006. I ve always had some numbness in that foot and leg but never this bad. This has been going on for about 3 months and seems to be worse at night.
