More information pls: It depends on which tendon is inflamed. Rotator cuff, versus biceps tendon, or conceivably one of the others. Please give more information.

Reduce inflammation: Initial treatment includes nsaids, rest, ice, and exercise. If ineffective over a couple of weeks, consult with an orthopedic specialist for a specific diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
