do you have plantar fasciitis? that could be the cause of both the heel and achilles pain.
for me, i have to find the right height of the chair to use since the tendon on the back of my knee of the leg on the chair can sometimes feel awkward. i'm short, so a bent leg at the right height is key. it's not sore, just the angle and height needs to be played with.
EDITED TO ADD: essentially, my knee joint must be "square" when doing the moves, i.e., aligned in the same plane as the calf and thigh and everything is fine after that.
