An injury like this you'd be best served to stay off it for at least a week, then introduce slow, careful exercise. [ Strange as it might sound, Adrien had never been a fan of trying to keep his patients on bed rest for extended periods of time. It was all about cautious activity, to keep the body limber. ]
If you absolutely cannot stay off the leg, then you should seriously consider a brace to support the joint and to restrict your movement as much as possible.
You keep pushing those ligaments and tendons, when they're already strained you risk tearing them. Tear them and you're going to lose the action of that joint and then you're going to be forced to bed rest because the joint doesn't work.
[ Ultimately he couldn't force Peter to do anything and he wouldn't try. But it was his job to let the younger man know the risks involved. ]
