Numb left foot

Had foot pain since August. Bloods showed levels for inflammation raised. Repeating those bloods next week. This evening I have pubs and needles and burning in my left foot, and it’s gone numb. Should I be worried? It’s a weird sensation, like when you touch your face when been numbed at dentist. You know you’re touching it, but can’t feel it
