Should I stop lifting weights due to achillies tendon pain or just quitting running on the treadmill is enough?

Dr. Mathew John, Rosalind Franklin University - Chicago Medical School Answered Mar. 6, 2015

Depends. If you are performing squats then yes you should stop because this would cause stress to the achilles tendon. Other weight training such as leg lifts should be fine.
