Thanks for posting query on health care magic. As already 5 weeks are gone so there is nothing too much to worry about. avoid excessive sprain on ankle in form of jogging running , etc. Avoid excessive loading of that limb for one week. keep elevation and do hot water fomentation. Take care. God bless you. Get wel soon
