How long does it take tendonitis to heal?

Tendonitis where?

[Canary42]

Mine (elbow) took over three months.

I ended up having operation on my elbow after months of pain and after enduring cortizone injections. Never had a problem since but I have had problems in ankle and wrist also again having to have injections which help short term. A lot depends on where the problem is and whether you can rest it sufficiently for it to heal on its own.

This is something which can't be answered in words, trust me; but you can try http://tendonitisrx.com/ . The best thing for tendonitis is rest, ice, and anti-inflammatories. and its hard to rest. We walk. so i would get to an ortho, they can give you an injection to help, and ice the hell out of it, elevate it when u can and stay off it as much as possible. sometimes a shoe insert that has a lot of cushion and support in the heel helps. The here at this point listening the advice of your doctor is a must.

I had tendinitis (tendonitis, whatever) of an achilles tendon at the age of forty. It took about a year before I was able to walk without discomfort.
