I had this problem last season along with a Planter Fasia (sp) Muscle that was almost torn. I went to a physical therapist who also works in our association. He gave me topical steroids on my achilles heel and my foot, he got them in deeper using an ultra-sound device. After about 45 days of twice a week treatments I was good to go. He gave me several exercises to day and gave me some heel supports that helped to keep the achilles from stretching. So far this year I have had minimal problems, however it will never completely go away, so I'm told. I also use what looks like a long rubber sash to do exercises in the bed at night and that helps tremendously, my wife also likes the device! LOL You need to exercise both heels as the other one could also become problematic.
