Excuse the spelling errors. I'm not a hundred percent sure that my achillies pain is from tendonitis but it hurts to walk and run and it makes a creaky like noise.
Only a doctor can give a true diagnosis, but I found using a simple brace like the one pictured below made a very big difference. You can buy them in pharmacies for about $20:

@micahhasenburg,
Are your calf muscles tight? If so, try giving them a good stretch ... heels hanging off a step for about 10 seconds -- do that several times a day. See if you can increase the flexibility in your calves. I know it helps with plantar fasciitis, and would probably help with achilles pain.

swimming is usually good for most leg injuries. it takes the weight and pressure off yet still allows 100% movement

Hi have just completed my holistic massage course and I reckon massage could help. My Tutor was also a sports therapist and he did wonders with my achiles tendon injury. I think you should find a sports therapist. Good luck X
