Should I See An Orthopedist For Cramps In My Calf Every Night?

I tore my Achilles tendon last October. I opted to let it heal with the supervision of an orthopedist rather than to have the surgery. I wore a splint for two weeks followed by a boot for ten additional weeks. I had eight weeks of PT, during which we discovered that I also had plantar fasciitis in the same foot. I was discharged from the orthopedist s care and slowly returned to normal. I have three new phenomenon that I am not sure I should attribute to the healing process and I am wondering what specialty I should visit for help. Can a podiatrist help with the searing burn in my heel that occurs at least five days a week. Should I see an orthopedist for the new cramps in my calf that wake me almost every night? Lastly, who should I see regarding the ankle swelling that occurs regularly? Is there one doctor that can help with all these problems
