Hello and welcome to HCM,
Electrical shock like sensations suggests irritation or compression of the nerves.
The C4-C5 fusion surgery is the probable cause of irritation and compression of the nerve roots.
Thus, I suggest you to consult your operating surgeon for clinical assessment and review of the symptoms.
Thanks and take care
