Hello,
I have had the same problem two years ago!. i underestimated it and I couldn't feel with the hand for one and half year! I was afraid I will be never able to feel again!. In my case it was caused because I used to lye on my elbow and I have destroyed my nerve there!. i felt pins and needles for one and half week and afterwards anything!. The doctors suggested me surgery after 3 moths, which I have refused because of side problems!. than I have found on the internet one lady that works in Slovak spa in rehabilitation!. She has suggested me some exercises and later I attended the spa itself and after few weeks things started slowly to improve!.
I advise you following (That helped me):
- Take pills of B vitamins (B6 and B12 especially) You can take even more than 500% of advised daily intake of these vitamins in this case!.
- Fill a bucket with dry corn or beans plunge your hand in it and try to move your fingers!.
- Stimulate nerves by electrical stimulators like TENS ( http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Transcutane!.!.!. )
- If no improvement appears and your doctor will not prescribe you rehabilitation, I strongly advice you pay one for yourself in the spa ( I tried in Slovakia, and I was very satisfied, but I have also heard that in Czech republic there are also very good spas )Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't mean to scare you or anything, but doesn't numbness in your left arm indicate you are at risk of having a heart attack or something!? That would explain why it started when you were boozing and smoking!. I recommend you look into that!. Try googling your symptoms!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It isn't a heart attack!. Those pains are severe and shooting and believe me you know what they are!. This happened to me and it was a pinched nerve in my neck!. I was cured by a Chiropractor manipulating (cracking) my neck back into proper alignment!.
Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My mum has the exact same thing!. She's had it a few years now, hers is a trapped nerve!. She was given some medication but it didn't really help!. Not sure there's anything that can really be done but i would see your doctor anyway!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
more than likely you've slept funny and trapped a nerve, on the other hand it could be serious, go and see the quack feller!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
my partner just had this! his left arm was going dead on and off throughout the day, it turned out to be a trapped nerve, go to your doc's to get some pain killers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
