How can i treat my own achilles tendon injury?

Don't: While most doctors do not want to see every person who has an occasional ache or pain which is a normal part of life, an achilles tendon injury is not something to manage yourself. You should find out how severe the injury is first. A severe injury can progress to a rupture of the tendon which then requires surgery. This is why we go to medical school; to help people like you.

Several items: As long as you are sure that it is not torn, you can rest it, use ice, compression and elevation. You may want to put a pad in the heel of your shoe to take pressure off the achilles tendon when standing & walking.
