Thank you for trusting us to answer your queries
Did you have normal sensation in these areas after surgery?
Do you have a sedentary job ?
Your symptoms suggest nerve impingement( some nerves of your spine that supply the sensation to your arm are being compressed ).
I would suggest you visit your neurologist for a detailed examination of you arm to rule out nerve injury.
Hope this helps
please let me know if you need any clarification
wish you good health
