Suggest Treatment For Pain In Ankle And Inability To Stand On Toes

Hello. today I went to my doctor with a problem with my ankle. I assumed I had tore my achilles. From everything that I have read online, I assumed it is a rupture. My doctor told me to just take an anti-inflammatory for 2 weeks and I should be good. He said because Im able to more the ankle up and down and side to side, it isnt torn. Additionally he said if it was torn I wouldnt be able to walk on it. When it first happened, about a month ago, I couldnt more it. Now I have slight movement but experience mild pain and still cant stand on my toes. Should I get a 2nd opinion or is the doctor correct?
