Wrist Pain: Good idea to immobilize your wrist with a splint. Take some ibuprofen, put some ice on it 10 minutes out of every hour while awake. Go see your doc if not doing better in the morning.

If one can take these then tylenol (acetaminophen) or other OTC Nsaids can work well. A common type of tendinitis is deqervains tenosynovitis.
