Answers:

You need to focus on stretching your gastroc (calf) muscle often...like 2-3 times a day. Hold your stretch for at least 30 seconds. Also if you went to a physical therapist they could be able to strengthen the rest of your ankle muscles and improve your balance. One last thing that is extremely important is to ice the irritated area on the back of your heel. You can do this by filling a paper cup half way with water and freezing it, then peel back the cup to expose some of the ice and rub that on the back of the heel for 4-5 mins...it will be uncomfortable but you have to push through to get the area numb. Do this after everyday and after any activity that involves running/jumping.
