Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
It could be a acute tendinosis of the Tendo achilles insertion with calcification. Another possibility is Gout( High Uric Acid). You need to check your Uric Acid level and rest and Pain relieving measures. Once pain is better and Uric Acid levels are normal you need to undergo physiotherapy for stretching your calf and foot muscles.
