hi sir/mam,your symptoms point at achilles tendon pathology which is common in athletes or in whom physical activity is more.most important is that whenever you have pain,rest the joint.if you over do,the pain increases and the disease may also aggravate.you might be suffering from any of the following conditions :achilles tendinosis,paratenonitis,achilles bursitis,achilles tendon rupture.only with a thorough examination by an orthopedician,diagnosis can be confirmed.for pain relief,NSAIDs like aceclofenac can be used twice daily.avoid strenous activities.if any other queries,i'm happy to help.thank you.take care.bye.
