Question:

Answers:
Lay off it for a while then ease into a full blown excercise over the course of 3-6 months.

Other Answers:
Conservatively:
rest, ice, non steroidal anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen and time

more agressively you can try acupuncture, massage, physical therapy with a procedure called iontophoresis, cortisone injections, physiatry with ORET therapy, some times splinting can be used.

I would tell you, as a physician and a marathon runner, the single most important factor is rest and not using the tendon over time - the general rule of thumb is the older and more severe the longer the problem will tendonitis will take to heal.

Good luck!
