Migraines and left sided numbness

I suffer with left sided numbness all the way down. And now the lower half of right leg is going numb as well.. I  also suffer from very severe migraine headaches. This occurs everyday. It is frustrating. Last yr I had a minor stroke from a fall and hit my head right where the shunt is for water on the brain.

Sorry to hear about your pain.  Really need more information to give you advice.

Did the numbness just start recently?  How long have you had the "very severe headaches"?  If these are recent developments, you need to see a doctor ASAP.  Or has this been going on since your stroke last year?  When you say a minor stroke, like a TIA?  That means you have a 1/3 chance of a full stroke in the near future.  And if you had a moderate eschemic stroke, you still have a fairly high chance of having another stroke. Strokes are nothing to fool around with.
