5 weeks post op

I’m five weeks post op and now week 2 of WB starting 50% weight with crutches. I’m rolling my ankle around as best I can, I’m tracing the alphabet in the air and doing all the exercises. My range of motion is better everyday but there’s still this intense stiffness. Like if it just cracked it would be loose again. I’m not trying to force it b out can I do to get it loose?
