Achilles bursitis? : More detail would be great. It could b as above. The bursa is in front of the tendon. May have some swelling there. It could act or feel like a muscle pull. Pinch just in front of the tendon and it may b sore. If in doubt check it out. C an ortho doc 4 evaluation.

Achilles/calf: It could be either a achilles tendon strain or tear. And possibly a calf muscle strain or tear as well.

Ankle pain: You may have Achilles Tendonitis. This condition may be associated with micro-tears, or even a full tear in the tendon, itself, but the only way to determine the severity of the problem would be to have an MRI, which will show soft tissue pathologies. I would recommend that you see a foot and ankle specialist for a full evaluation of the problem, as you do not want to make this problem worse
