Consult with surgeon who has operated you, some nerve injuries don't recover completely. Ask if any more recovery really possible or not. I don't think physiotherapy will help you improve much, still some improvement always possible.
There is a test called EMG-NCV to see recovery or nerves and muscles. from this test we can predict if you have recovered or not and if any further recovery expected or not
