Hi Carrot, I had a similar Achilles injury while hiking the JMT a few years ago and came up with a pretty good taping strategy to support the Achilles enough to get me through it. There is a photo here:

The athletic tape around the heel is the important part- the duct tape is just blister prevention.
I also iced/soaked it a lot (which was easy in the High Sierra, maybe not so much down south) and took lots of ibuprofen. Good luck!
