I can barely put weight on it and it's my right foot. And I drive an automatic Confused

I have a weird hip which means I've had troubles with my knees forever but the biggest one being that the tendon swells and I have to do controlled swelling.

My ankle feels like my knee usually does and is really swollen on my heel.
Not changed shoes or anything and I think it's just my body being silly.

Anyway, what would you do?
Friend is saying doctors, narcy mum saying no doctors, me saying OWWW (and no doctors).
I know I need to rest it but how can I working full time?! Even with it strapped it's been hell today.

Ideas?

Look up eccentric and concentric exercises on you tube. Do those religiously for 6 weeks.
Wear some heel lifts in your shoes.
Don't go barefoot.
Use some anti inflammatory gel
