Wrist tendonitis -- does it ever really go away?

[PrimeChoice]

no, not without rest

It can take a tendon up to six months to heal.

Then again yes, it can get better, the body will find a way to adapt.

My arm is falling off right now.

^^ one of the parts of the body that is supposed to adapt is the brain, by telling you that if something leads to pain, you should do less of it. That seldom happens around hear. Tendons heal with a more random array of collagen than was originally there, which means there's a higher risk of recurrence. Brain adaptation.

I actually find r2473 very hilarious most of the time. His humour is up my alley.

I was being serious. It was funny.

it sounds to me like OP is gripping the racquet too either tightly or gripping in some unusual fashion or that he may need to change his grip size. Hard to tell.

You're going to need to ice it/ use NSAIDs until there's no more pain in day-to-day activities. Then after that you need to strengthen the entire area before you go back to playing.
