Achilles Tendinitis

I was diagnosed with Achilles tendinitis, and received drugs and said rest when it arrives and it is not .. More recently, he has been hurt a lot, even going back to my calf! The other night I was on tiptoes trying to achieve something when I felt the back of my ankle tear .. Gross! I made an appointment with the doc, but what is the normal procedure for this in addition to analgesics and rest? Has anyone had this problem or situation happen to them? How did you go about this doc?
