That's either tendon/ligament inflammation or Gout. It's likely Gout if the skin over the affected joints is red and tender to the touch. (Crystals of uric acid get deposited between the joints and can hurt like hell). Drink lot of water, avoid foods high in purine content.
Note that Achilles tendon bears the body weight during body movements. Obesity increases the risk for Tendonitis. Please LOSE WEIGHT!
Medications for Gout and Tendonitis consist of anti-inflammatory. But only your doctor can prescribe Allupurinol to help stop Gout from coming back. Usually it is the big toe joint that first gets symptoms of Gout.
