Torn outermost layer of Achilles Heel, how can i run without it hurting .?

so i ended up tearing the outermost layer of my Achilles Heel and was told to take this medicine for a few days and wear a shoe with a heel no larger or less than 1/4 an inch. i listen for the most part with the shoe but i noticed when im running now it gets very painful as well as when im tumbling ( i know i shouldn't i love it ) . Should i just wrap my ankle very tightly or get other shoes ? I'm not going to stop tumbling or running .
