Hello,
Indeed, tendinitis pain is severe sometimes, unbearable. You can apply alternating warm and cold compresses until you see your doctor. Plus, apply antalgesic cream locally. You can take paracetamol or Ibuprofen orally for the pain. Magnesium supplement can also ease the pain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
