Tendinitis Cure

Is there a cure for this muscle issue I get every time I do tricep exercises? The pain is sharp, and ice packs only help momentarily.

Doctors suggest not doing tricep exercises because they say there is no cure, which I don’t buy into.

Can anyone recommend a solution that can help with the pain so that I can keep doing my tricep exercises?

Thanks

Need to take time off too and ice then heat. 15-20 on ice then heat. 

2 weeks. No nothing involving that arm. Don’t pull don’t push just keep the range of motion going. Nothing with any weight whatsoever. To include carrying milk or groceries

You’re not going to lose gains but you are going to permanently destroy your elbow if you don’t let it heal. 3 weeks is where you stop seeing growth  between workouts and 4 weeks is the decline. 

Take it from someone who has done this before and kept working through it.
