Suggest Remedy For Soreness And Pain In The Heel

Hi, I was playing indoor soccer back at the end of March when I sprained my ankle, pretty bad. I heard a loud pop and my ankle swelled almost immediately and was black and blue and swollen for a couple weeks. I iced it pretty religiously for a few days and did started stretching exercises as soon as I could. After a few weeks it still didn t feel right (I ve sprained both ankles several times before) so I went to see my doctor who took an x-ray to see if it was broken or if there was an avulsion. He didn t see anything and told me to stay off of it for 6 weeks. So I did. Since then I ve been back to playing soccer and now I m started to train for a half marathon and I noticed by the bottom of my heel, by my Achilles, it s very sore and somewhat painful. I am just wondering if this has to do with my previous injury or the fact that I m running a lot more or if it was never properly diagnosed.......It is very tight when I stretch the Achilles but all other range of motion is just like my other ankle. Should I see a doctor and if so, would it be best to see a sports medicine doctor or someone besides the family doctor? Or should I stay off a week and ice again and see what happens? Any advice you could offer would be great. Thank you, KK
