See a doctor: You need to see a doctor and get checked. There are several things that could cause this but things like MS and some autoimmune disorders need to be ruled out.

You need a test: If your numbness is only on the left side, you may have a pinched nerve. You should get a nerve test from a podiatry office or a neurologist.
