Your statement: an important aspect of rehabilitation is learning to tell discomfort from pain. If you push the tissues you can get discomfort which indicates a positive stress response, but just a bit farther is pain which means they have be injured is spot on. If insurance covers, why not try physical therapy? If that's not an option, there are any things that could be tried - your recommendation for walking is excellent. My suggestion is exercise in high repetitions - a few minutes of exercise specifically for the area. Ultrasound can help problems with tendons and muscles. There are some relatively inexpensive machines for under $100. But know that a little is good, too much is not - generally 3-5 minutes a day can help a lot. More can hurt. Massage is another option that could be done on ones own. Moving the foot while doing massage on the tendon can be beneficial (pain and problems could be due to adhesions). Then you've got stretches for the area and your above statement becomes so important - discomfort vs pain Then what could be explored is how things are up and down the chain. It's possible that the tendon healed okay but tightness or weakness in the foot or calf or shins could manifest itself in the previously injured area.
