Overuse: I don't think an inflammatory process like tendonitis or a recurrent sprain,strain will heal if you keep on exercising at this level. The inflamed or overused areas require prolonged rest in order to heal. Taking a week's course of an anti-inflammatory medication like Advil or Aleve may also help. A trainer advising you may be of significant help.
