Sounds like: You might have a problem with your Achilles tendon. I suggest you see a local Podiatrist as soon as possible as you risk further injury. I would also recommend getting an MRI.

Healing the Heel.: More than likely, there is something amiss with your Achilles tendon. It is possibly irritated from over use or potentially partially torn. It is best to protect the area with a boot and minimize the stressing of the tendon until it can be evaluated. Now id the time to consult with a specialist.
