    I'm so sorry. Have you had your Achilles checked? I had to have surgery on mine about 11 months after I broke everything in my ankle. If you are just looking for something to help with minor discomfort, try lidocaine ointment.

    I'd say you haven't given yourself enough time for physical therapy and healing. After they took out my hardware in my ankle (my body rejected it), it took me about 7 months to regain full strength in my ankle. Go back to your doctor and PT and explain what is happening. Standing on your feet is much worse than walking on your feet. It sucks having to work when you're not fully recovered, but it'll be twice as hard if you re-injure yourself again. Good Luck!
