Physical therapy : Five weeks is not the concern. Not rehabilitating and strengthening the ankle is most important now. Your ankle joint is now unstable because of the partially torn ligament. keep stability and strength to the muscles is very important to protect yourself. Physical therapist helpful at this juncture.
