People affected by tendonitis know how difficult it can be to carry out everyday activities. First aid for this condition involves allowing the affected area to rest while applying cold compresses to reduce swelling and relieve the tenderness. Anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen can also help with any pain you may be experiencing.
Helping yourself by stretching and strengthening the surrounding muscles is beneficial too, however, make sure to do this gradually so that you don't aggravate or worsen your symptoms. Ultimately, always listen to your body and don't push yourself beyond what's comfortable for you - or you could risk taking longer to recover from your discomfort.
