Jess, yes same thing. Only it is my arms and hands, not just my fingers that are numb. It happens when I type or use my hands for my artwork, etc.
I know from my MRIs that I have fairly severe compression of my spinal cord with herniated C4/5 & 5/6, and have other problems as well. This is just the latest symptom, but is the one that my surgeon is taking most seriously in regards to doing surgery. I'm so glad that you have had a successful lumbar surgery. If you do need the cervical done, it is supposed to be much easier to recover from if that is any consolation  I'm looking at having to get five levels fixed, in both lumbar and cervical, so I feel your pain!
