Start with RICE: Tendonitis (inflammed tendon) commonly results from overuse. Start treatment w/ rice, nsaid, stretch/ strength prog (pt or ot), & consider couterforce bracing. Massage may also help. If these treatments fail you may be a candidate for cortisone/ prp injections. Few people end up needing surgery.

Tendoniitis: Consider "rice" as a first step: rest, ice, compression and elevation. Physical therapy should be instituted with careful attention to performing eccentric (muscle lengthening) exercises. A topical NSAID can be helpful, too.
