For sero negative arthritis, it is generally totally advised to do exercises before the stiffness sets in. However you need to be evaluated the stage and severity of disease first and advise of proper recommended exercise. U can consult me.

Walking and cycling are not advised till ankle pain and swelling come down. Start applying ice packs 5-7 times for each 20 min for a week. Once the pain and swelling come down then go for walking and cycling and tai chi exercises.
