I hyperextended my achilles tendon, but what the doctor said isnt working?

I play soccer, and hyperextended the achilles tendon in my shooting foot. The doctor said it was a minor problem and told me to rest it for 3-4 days. After 4 days I played and it hurt again, I immediatley took myself out of the game to avoid further injury. Now it has been slightly over 2 weeks and I havent played on it and it still hurts almost as much as at first. someone please help because it is the middle of the soccer season and I cant play.

It will take more than 3 or 4 days..more like 3-4 weeks..those are difficult to get over..during the season,while still playing every saturday..maybe your Doc is not aware of the intensity that some of these kids soccer games go at...not a whole lot to do..other than ice down after game,then moist heat and gentle stretching and time!!
