How long does it take for achilles tendinitis to heal? never had any inflammation...been more than 5 weeks and pain is gone after treatment & change of shoes...still feel a little stress sometimes while walking...will it heal on its own?

Sounds like tendinosis. For the healing tendon fibers to heal and reorganize, you will need to add eccentric strengthening exercises. A physical therapist or personal trainer can show you how to perform these correctly if you need additional guidance.
