Check with your MD: Assuming you received a steroid injection, it is common to have increased pain for a few days after the injection before the steroid"kicks in". That being said, let your doctor know about your worsening pain to check for other causes, i.E infection.

Possibly normal: For a calcaneal tendon injury the guiding principle is function. If the tendon is intact, one wants to avoid surgery and proceed with conservative measures.
