By the power of the tin-ter-net and brought to you by the NHS

Also speak to your doctor and/or local practice physio

If you've had it for that long you've probably got some serious damage to the tendon and sheath. Probably not something a bit of rest and a few calf raises can sort out. Go see your GP.

yeah I have the same problem, brought on by bad snowboard boots/technique and never really recovered, bit worried that my heels are so sore before the season has even arrived this year...
