treatment for tendonitis

Initial treatment should consist of an ice pack. Some runners prefer to use a wet towel that has been in the fridge. I recommend you use commercially available ice packs for focused pain relief. Anti-inflammatory such as Ibrobrufen will help to reduce the swelling. This should be taken with meals and never before running.
Sports shoes with built in insoles can be beneficial, however I recommend you replace existing insoles with specific sports orthotics/ insoles.
