Treating Tricep Tendonitis

[dannydevil117]

I injured my tricep last wednesday and have been resting it ever since. I took paracetamol for the first two days and used anti inflammatory creams. I went to the gym today but I felt some pain so any idea on how long it will take to recover or any other methods to treat it?

If it's just tendonitis it should only take a couple of weeks to heal.

Best thing to do is to simply rest it and then play it smart coming back by avoiding any exercise which aggravates it (for me it's Skullcrushers).

Anti inflammatory drugs are not a good idea for tendons, you need heat and rest in the area
