Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. It could be due to tendinitis at the attachment of tendo achilles, or could be due to some inflammatory cause. You can start with ice packs and anti inflammatory therapy for 5-7 days. Also limit your physical activity till your pain subsides. Kindly also mention whether there is any swelling, skin redness or any local warmth as well at the painful site? do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation.
