My surgeon in saying thr is slow progress and i need to wear Arm pouch and have to do grip exercise of fist & up /down of arm so it dont get jammed.

Too much of rest or restrictions in movement increases the stiffness in the muscles which are irritated due to injury and surgery. Start doing the movements slowly if your surgeon permits and then progressively increase the range.
