Think back...: Although the first thought may be to link the past ankle and foot trauma to your heel pain now. One can never be to sure about these things as there may be a some involvement with your back, specifically, the lower spine. This also could be the true reason for the heel pain. To get to nitty gritty, so to speak, a thorough lower back and leg evaluation is needed.

But you should see a podiatrist.

Accepted Answer

Torn tendon: First, get under the care of an orthopedic surgeon, if you haven't done so, for advice and follow-up. You want to avoid further damage and chronic problems. Find out about limitations on your activities. Do you need a brace? Tylenol and/or ibuprofen or naproxen can relieve pain and inflammation. Eventual physical therapy must be sanctioned and prescribed by the orthopedic surgeon.
