Mine (right one) often hurts on the court. I've discovered that when changining directions (180 degrees) I tend to pivot on the ball of that right foot and then push off with my heel in the air. This act seems to put some extra strain on my achilles. I have consciously put my heel lower (even to the point of being on the floor) before I make that initial push. This has made the difference for me. No more pain until I start doing it incorrectly again.

You might want to take a look at exactly when the pain occurs and discover a method for not creating the pain. I haven't had to do anything besides this minor technique adjustment.
