Professional ...: Yes, one can still have pain and swelling five weeks after torn tendons and ligaments in the ankle and shin. Professional attention by PCP/ Ortho Consult and or Physical Therapist is needed to pilot one through potential chronic challenges that might arise if not adequately taken care of.
