I Was Seen In The Clinic On Friday About My

I was seen in the clinic on Friday about my injury to my achilles tendon. She didn't think that I ruptured it, which is good. However, I'm in so much pain that I can't sleep through the night. I've been taking prednisone and vicodin along with ibuprofen. I ice/elevate it even at the office. I do walk using my toes and top portion of my left foot. Yet, I'm in pain. This is how it happened, I was walking through the yard and stepped into a divet trying to catch my bus to work and the top of my foot and shin nearly connected as I fell to the left. Now it hurts like the dickens to put weight on my left heel. I felt a snap and clicking and if I move my foot wrong there is a burning slicing type pain otherwise it constantly throbs. No xray was taken as the doc didn't think it was necessary. Thoughts?
