Not serious, check!: So that they do not become a chronic problem, it is important to get achilles problems checked out. If it is a simple achilles tendinitis, it should respond well to icing (15 mins), stretching, and core strengthening. A small heel lift can temporarily relieve symptoms, but is not a permanent fix (should also be used in both shoes so that you don't cause other problems).

Achilles tendinitis: Tendinitis refers to an acute condition lasting less than 6 weeks. Treatments include relative rest, antiinflammatory meds, icing, then progressive strengthening prior to returning to full activity. If it has been present for greater than 6 weeks probably represents tendinosis or disease of the tendon. Txment for that is an eccentric loading program, small heel lift, or regenerative injections.
