I had a ruptured Achilles in 2016 and it's still not alright. I started with light exercises to build up the muscles around it, as recommended by a trainer at our leisure centre. I have definitely come a long way thought I still find running quite difficult. Week 1 seems to agree with me now, might move unto wk2 soon.

A physiotherapist or a personal trainer might also be able to help, alongside or instead of a doctor.
