It may be due to degenerative changes progressing in your spine. Numbness can be due to pinched nerve. You can consult a physiotherapist and can learn nerve mobilization exercises which will be helpful in reducing numbness.
Next Steps
Consult a good physiotherapist for early recovery and overall assessment. You can get a Nerve Conduction Velocity test for a better picture.
Health Tips
Avoid bad postural habits. Keep your limb supported while sleeping.

This could be because of pinched nerve from cervical spine.
Next Steps
I would strongly suggest to go for MRI of cervical spine and NCV of left upper limb to know the exact cause.

Please go for an MRI cervical spine . Nerve compression n soft tissues condition will decide the course of treatment. Avoid using posture corrector. Maintain a good posture yourself without corrector.
