HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It can take a long time for nerve repair to occur so it is possible that your symptoms will improve with time.
Continued physiotherapy and the use of the pain relief medication would help.
If you remain concerned, you would need to take your x rays and other images along with any notes that you may have to another surgeon for review.
I hope this helps
