Tricep Tendinitis Recovery Time

[Simplelies]

Hey folks,

So, I have been off all upper body exercises for the last 4 weeks because of tricep tendinitis. I was just wondering how long it usually takes to heal completely. I do not want to get in there and hurt it again and possibly be out for a longer period the second time. Is there any therapy methods that can be used to heal it other than icing?

As well, is this a chronic injury?

Thanks.
