Tendon injuries take 6-12 month to heal.
deQuervain’s tenosynovitis,
A painful condition affecting the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist.
Repetitive hand or wrist movements can make the condition worse.
The main symptoms are pain and tenderness in the wrist, often below the base of the thumb.
DeQuervain’s stenosing tenosynovitis is the most common tendonitis affecting the tennis wrist. It is the result of trauma from repetitive gliding of the two tendons at the base of the thumb. The inflammation causes the tunnel around the tendons to swell, making thumb and wrist movements painful. DeQuervain’s leads to pain directly over the affected tendons and with tendon stretching. Treatment starts with activity modification, a splint that limits movement of the involved tendons, anti-inflammatory medications, and/or a steroid injection into the tendon compartment. If the symptoms persist despite these treatment modalities, surgery to open the compartment is recommended.

Tendinosis is a troublesome clinical entity affecting many active people. Its treatment remains a challenge to sports medicine clinicians. The etiopathophysiology of tendinosis has not been well delineated. The known pathophysiology and the recent advances ...

My summation, search for what is true for yourself -
Tendinitis after a new injury involves inflammation.
Tendinosis - If the tendon is stressed while it is trying to heal it may heal defectively in a short time. '2-3 weeks' is mentioned for animal experiments. Google:

Seeing how you do for
a month, is a very risky thing to do.
When injured often the player tries to play and see how they do. That can lead to defective healing in a short time. That is why you should let your injured tendon tissues heal. See a Dr.
When you see tennis players with braces on their elbows, their injuries may have involved tendon injuries that healed with tendinosis. ? Google:
Golfer's Elbow Google:
Tennis Elbow
I injured my elbow and got a tennis elbow brace. Once on my court, all four 50ish men had similar elbow braces. Notice how many elbow braces are on your courts. Ask about them. Stop stressing tissues as soon as you get a new injury.
This may have been the same elbow injury as above? I had just gotten a sudden elbow injury in the Golfer's Elbow location. I read about the '2-3 weeks time to tendinosis' about 3 weeks after my new injury. I stopped tennis after I read that, for 3 months, and it still hurt a little when I started back.... See a Dr for healing times. I very occasionally feel something on certain motions, but my right elbow works fine.
The take away is - if you might have injured a tendon - don't try things to see how your do. See a Dr. Other tissue injuries may be similar?
If you are months into trying things, see a Dr.
