I had the same issue of tendonitis, however on my right side. Was very hard to find information of this injury pertaining to cyclists. For me, even with a proper bike setup it simply boiled down as an overuse injury. Time off the bike (and the RICE protocol, as you mention) worked best. You can also find a number of youtube vids on how to remediate this tendon specifically, but honestly for me 2 weeks off the bike reduced the inflammation and i was able to ride again. Not sure how much this helps, considering the circumstances of your previous injuries may by the mitigating factor.
