Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome; in fact it sounds like it.
Whilst the symptoms appear as an achilles tendon injury, it's really reffered pain from irritating the nerve which run down past the tendon across the ankle and into the foot on each down stroke . Caused, in my case by postural problems, I inwardly pronate . Solved, largely by Sherrit's insole, and having a more stable foot on the pedal. This was achieved by moving the saddle forward so the foot twists less.
