Listen to your doctor on this one. Take it from someone who knows, not listening leads to much longer off the bike than it might have otherwise been. Tendonitis can take some time to heal, and generally they do advise to stop the activity that caused it until it heals. There is the potential to develop chronic tendonitis...

Good luck, and congratulations on your first supported long tour
