Q: Torn ankle ligament and exercise

Hi!
I torn my outer ankle ligaments about 5 weeks ago. The orthopedic surgeon said they only operate in severe cases and when patients are old. I am 33. I still wear a speed brace.
How soon can I excersise on a Powerplate machine?
With or without the brace?
And how soon can I swim breaststroke in a swimming pool?
Regards
sinbad
