Answer 1

You could possibly have an Achilles tendonitis. This just means the Achilles tendon has been injured and the tendon damaged, causing the pain.

You need to find out the reason for it, and why it has come on all of a sudden.  Have you been doing any extra exercise? Do you play sport? Do you wear supportive shoes? How old are you? (Middle aged ladies or men can be more prone to this condition).

Good place to start with treatmeant is the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) and to wear supportive shoes, such as jogggers or runners.

If you have any more information to give, will see if we can be of any more assistance.
