I have had a numbing/dull feeling in my left shoulder for years now. it usually happens when i stand for long periods of time. what could this be?

It depends: It sounds like a chronic problem. May be due to compression in the nerve endings while standing. But, you can check vitamin B12 and folate (folic acid) level and see your pcp.
