[Closed] Recurring ankle problem

Now I know I need to go to Drs, which I am doing on my next day off, but about 8-9 months ago I had mild Achilles tendonitis and was given some diclofenac and some exercises for my ankle when sat at work. I tookthe course of diclofenac and did the exercises. The tendonitis went away. Still doing exercises but the tendonitis has come back worse. I now have a really hard painful lump in the middle of the tendon. All the stuff I've read online says I need to go to have it operated on, which scares the crap out of me. Is this highly likely or can it be gotten rid of by meds again?

Anyone else had this problem?
