    If it is tendonitis, ART, ice, anti-inflammatories, Pennsaid, and rest will all help. I would see a DR and ask for a referral for an Ultrasound to be absolutely sure...the ultrasound will show any tear and you can then work on specific treatments...without knowing everything else is guess work at best. Also a partial tear may not bleed much at all...i had more than a 50% tear and no bleeding was detectable so that is not a true indication of the severity of injury...you also have a max of about 4-5 weeks to repair it surgically after that the tendon will lose too much elasticity for repair.
