Is my case urgent for a surgery ?

Hello and shalom to everybody,
My name is Shahar Shemesh and I'm 27 years old, living in Israel. 4 month ago, while I was busy in my physical therapy studying degree I had a bad motorcycle accident which crashed my skull bones and ruined my brachial plexus nerves, mostly the superior trunk made by c5 c6 that influence badly the axillary and musculocutaneus nerves.
After 3 month I began to fill some positive progress in these damaged nerves and the emg exams also showed some electric mobility, and I became calmer to know that the nerve didn’t cut off totally.
But still I can’t feel some skin areas and can move my shoulder very badly. My pain is mild and my self practice is deep and serious: I do electro and hydro therapy everyday and try to be aware to the hand progress.
My questions refer to the surgical need. The doctor assumes that scar tissue is stacking the stretched injured nerves and I would like to know if it is necessary to have a surgery a.s.a.p or is it possible to wait and see if things are going on the positive way.
Thank you for hearing me. I would like to get some answers from you , not only about my surgical question but about anything you feel like sharing.
