Inflammation....: The fact that you have a blister on your heel means that some amount of frictional pressure had to be applied to your heel. If the pressure was sufficient enough and applied long enough, then there could be some inflammation to underlying tissues including both tendon and bone. Examination of the area by a a specialist would best serve you.
