Hi!
First of all correct diagnosis is important. If you have been diagnosed as Achilles tendinosis then only this treatment may help. Apply this ice several times a day for 5-10 minutes for about 72 hours after injury. After this apply compression bandage. All the time rest your legs as much as possible and keep them elevated. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can also be taken. Ultrasound therapy is also given in some cases. There after you will have to start simple stretch exercises to heal the muscle and tendon. Having said all this, I would like to tell you not to attempt any stretching on your own. Please consult a physiotherapist for this. If possible consult a sports medicine specialist and be under him for complete recovery of the injury. If not possible consult an orthopedics specialist. Take care!
