Dear your probably suffering from Insertional Achilles Tendinitis or Achilles tendon enthesopathy.
Avoid hard shoes
Use tab naprosyn 500 twice a day.
Heel drop exercises
Physiotherapy

Achilles tendinitis is often helped by certain shoes, as well as orthotic devices. For example, shoes that are softer at the back of the heel can reduce irritation of the tendon.
If symptoms not improved consult your doctor.
