Get diagnosed...: A number of things can cuase this. Strains are most responsive to rest and avoidance of stetching of the heel cord. However, there are a number of studies showing that tendinosis (tendinopathy) is best resolved through eccentric stretching exercises.

Achilles burning: Agree with dr. Bluman. Also consider more ominous dvt--check with venous doppler.
