What Causes Constant Numbness In Legs And Feet?

I have some numbness that I ve been dealing with on the left side of my body for the last couple weeks. It s mainly in my leg and feet area. Nothing severe but gradual and consistent. Not sure if it might be caused by medication or something else. Problem is more annoying than anything else. Larry C YYYY@YYYY
