Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
Your problem of having numbness in right index finger and arms are definitely in relation with your fusion at C4,C5 vertebrae.
Due to irritation of nerves passing these vertebrae giving rise to this pressure symptoms.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and go for the treatment accordingly.
Do not keep pillow under your neck while sleeping.
Ok and bye.
