There can be several reasons of your arms/legs and face numbness although without being able to examine you I can not offer you the specific advice on diagnosis and treatment that you need, but I would try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern.

Most likely your symptoms could be due to injury to a nerve, pressure on spinal/peripheral nerves (neuropathy), vitamin deficiency, lack of blood supply due to cholesterol plaque from atherosclerosis in the extremities, viral infection and use of certain medications.  In addition, atherosclerosis can also cause pain, numbness, and tingling while walking and frostbite can also reduce blood supply and lead to numbness/cold limb. Please consult your doctor to get all these possibilities evaluation in your case for further assessment. Hope this helps.
