Need more information: Remember the greek mythology , what achilles went through as it is the weakest part of our skeletal system , its repair has high failure rate than any tendon repair in the body, be patient follow your doctors advise and discuss

I would inform: Your surgeon of your pain. Some plan should be in place to help ease this pain. Are you in physical therapy? What have you done so far?

Achilles surgery: 17 weeks is very long to still have residual pain from this surgery. Please ask you surgeon or even get a second opinion if need be.

Not sure: I am not sure long it will take...What i can suggest to speed the healing is to see an acupuncturist. I have had repeated success with all kinds of issues....But pain is readily relieved with acupuncture and chinese medicine.It helps recovery from pain, surgery, restores circulation to the area...
