After rereading all the posts above, I wholeheartedly agree with JustJess - heat is bad after exercising/rehabbing your ankle. To clarify my earlier post, heat should only be used BEFORE exercise to losen up the connective tissues and increase blood flow to the area in preparation for the increase activity and to promote healing.
I assumed that your doctor already recommended some sort of rehab process. If he didn't, go get one. If you have access to one, use a trainer or physical therapist. This is a serious injury that isn't easy to recover from. My injury occurred 13 years ago, and the injured ankle is still less stable than the other.
