Achilles tendon pain help!?
May 26th, 2010 | 
Author: About 9 months ago I jumped into a pool accidentally on the shallow end and rolled my ankle kind of sideways. For the next two days it was very painful to walk and then it went away and everything was fine. About 2 months after that I experienced the same pain I was having when I hurt it the first time and it went away again for about 2or3 months and then it came back and went away again and now here I am 4 months later with the same exact pain I had nine months ago when it first happened. Its exactly where my Achilles tendon is and it does not hurt resting only when I walk or move it a lot. I am just curious as to what it could be? Its hard to walk very far or do anything when these “episodes” happen – I feel like if I tore something the pain wouldn’t go away and come back and that itd be constant. And the “episodes” come out of nowhere Im not a super active person and I do the same thing everyday pretty much. Any answers will help! thanks!

You should go to a doctor or out a brace on- you dont want to rip it any further.
Its called tendenitis, your achilles is inflamed from the injury you sustained, I had the same problem what you need to do is ice the area down and keep weight off of it for a week or two just to give it time to let the inflamation go down. A good tip that worked for me, Tighten your shoe laces it gives support to the back of the ankle and makes it easier to walk
Josey, I would like you to try this exercise to see if it helps you. Please follow the directions and don’t deviate from them. Stand on a step with the balls of the feet on the edge of the step. Raise up on the toes of both feet. Now take your injured leg off the step and slowly lower the heel of the good leg down until it will not go any further. Now using the injured leg by placing it back on the step raise that foot up onto the toes. Now start that sequence again and do it until you have done 15 repetitions. Now switch the process so that the good foot is now the one that is lifting up onto the toes and lowering the injured heel as low as it will go. The object of this is to do 15 reps on each foot until you have done 180 of these in total. In the beginning you are not going to be able to do this number so only do a number that you are comfortable with. Always start with the good foot first! Within a few days if not sooner the problem will stop. To keep it from coming back continue to do this movement even after reaching the 180 mark for a few weeks. As an aside it is going to make your calves more shapely.
