Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

As you are a sports person, most propably your symptoms could be due to Achilles tendinitis.

The treatment for this condition includes Rest, Analgesic antiinflammatory medications, Activity modification and physical therapy.

There are many other conditions that may cause pain in the back of ankle for which a detailed clinical examination is necessary by an orthopedic surgeon.

Hope this information is helpful. Good day
