No: You may have a small tear of your Achilles tendon. Seek orthopedic advice..

See a dr: it may be a bad sprain but if the swelling is severe you may need an xray/mri--maybe.you will probably need a walking boot because the weight bearing is keeping the swelling.are you taking anti-inflammatory medications?These would help too.
