Go to www.webmd.com and it should offer some advise.
Gentle stretching and exercise are in order, but it should also be done on the advise of a professional. Either a doc or a therapist.
Go to a therapist out of the village at least once, and pick their brain to find out what and how often, you should be doing things.
Too much can cause further damage, and not enough won't help a bit.
I had 'frozen shoulder' a few years back. Not many know that the shoulder moves in four different directions, but I found out quickly. The therapist gave me a list of exercises to do and told me to do them 4 times a day. (I didn't have a choice but go to him twice a week, a frozen joint is a lot different than one that's just weak from not being used. They actually had to 'break it free' and that wasn't fun at all).
It's that kind of advise you need to bring the joint back up to a normal range of movement.

Roll your foot over a soda pop bottle gently, of course. This will make your ankle go through its range of motion. You may want to soak the foot and ankle first in lukewarm water.
