Treatment For Tendinitis

• 1). Rest your arm for several days by not engaging in any physical activity. During this time, wear an elbow brace.
  
  
• 2). Take two ibuprofen pills every four to six hours, until your symptoms are gone.
  
  
• 3). Fill an ice pack or towel with ice. Tie or strap the ice pack or towel against your elbow. Keep the ice on your elbow for 15-20 minutes. Repeat this procedure every three to four hours while you are awake.
  
  
• 4). After your initial inflammation has subsided, use a heating pad several times per day.
  
  
• 5). Straighten your arm, bend your hand down with your other hand, and hold that position for 15 seconds. Repeat two or three times. Do this stretching exercise up to five times per day. Press two fingers against the source of your tendinitis. Rub that area for five minutes.
