Detailed Answer:
Hello
My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Treatment of tendinitis is divided into two phases. In initial phase rest is advised so that inflammation of tendon is reduced along with pain intensity. For this phase, rest and analgesics like ibuprofen or naproxen(prescription drug) is prescribed. When patient is able to move easily and pain is reduced then we go into second phase of treatment which is physiotherapy. Following are few of the physiotherapy techniques that a physiotherapist opts. He may add/remove any technique depending upon the current health status of the patient:

•     Immobilization if necessary (e.g. splinting, bandaging, taping)
•     Cold therapy or cryotherapy (e.g. ice pack, ice massage)
•     Heat pack
•     Electrical stimulation
•     Ultrasound / Phonophoresis
•     Massage
•     Joint mobilization techniques
•     Physiotherapy exercises like:
•     Gentle range of motion (ROM) exercises
•     Flexibility / Stretching exercises
•     General conditioning exercises
•     Progressive strengthening exercises
•     Gait/Walking/Assistive device training (for lower limb injury)
•     Ergonomic training
•     Patient education
•     Regarding the patient’s specific condition (type of tendonitis)
•     Precautions to observe
•     Suggest activity or work modification
•     Self-care of symptoms
•     Injury prevention

You can try ice packing and massage therapy at home by yourself but for rest i would recommend you to visit a physiotherapist so that he can guide you these in correct manner. Don't try them yourself else it may harm as well for if not done correctly.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
