Achilles tendon: Since you still feel some discomfort, please follow up with your primary care doctor or surgeon who performed the procedure. Use anti-inflammatory medication for pain relief. Avoid the activities that trigger pain. Physical therapy can be helpful too.

Tendon: If it has been a year and you still experience a degree of pain and sweling I would let your ortho know about your symptoms.
