If you are having more symptoms, particularly the ones involving electrical feelings in your arms, you need to revisit the spine surgeon. This indicates problems with pressure on your nerves coming out of your neck. Did the surgeon do an MRI of your neck? The longer this goes on, the more difficulty it will get, so you really need to get back to that doctor and explain what is still happening with you. There should then be further testing to determine exactly what is going on and what needs to be done about it.
Spine problems often get better with physical therapy, but when they don't as in your case, it is important to be assertive in getting treatment before you end up with permanent nerve damage.
