Hello,

This may be due to Achilles tendon injury. We call it Achilles tendinitis. As achilles is the largest tendon in the body it needs proper strengthening exercises.
I would advise the patient to consult a Orthopedician. Regular physiotherapy to strengthen the muscle. Light exercises which will not aggravate the pain. Analgesic for pain management.
I find this answer helpful
