Extensor Tendinitus

Help! I'm a marathon runner and have been diagnosed with Extensor Tendinitus (left leg). What can I do to help this heal? I want to run again. My last marathon was about 2.50 months ago. The diagnosis was made 3 weeks before I ran that marathon.

Ice and heat?, Ice only? I hear ice for 2 weeks after you feel NO PAIN.

What do I do? I was allergic to Celebrex. Took Indocin for awhile. Stopped that. Now I'm not taking anything.
