I'd rather doubt it. Tendinitis is a infection in the sheaths of the tendons that go to your hands, yes, you can get it this way but, it takes some times and some work. You may get carpal tunnel syndrome after months or, years of the same position, it's about the same.
Try putting ice on it, see if that helps. A doctor, if this is tendinitis or carpal tunnel may want to give you a shot of cortisone, this would act instantly to relieve the pain.
Try some type of muscle relief, an ointment.

Having had tendonitis and repetitive-movement accidents ago, I can not emphasize sufficient that you just see a general practitioner for this situation. He/she is going to inform you the essential remedies are a wrist splint, an anti inflammatory, ice for soreness, and lowering your use of the affected limbs and the recreation that is exacerbating the situation. If you employ a pc, make specific your workspace is ergonomically outfitted for you, has wrist aid, and a keyboard that's slanted. Your mouse pad too can have wrist aid. Try Microsoft's ergo keyboard, to look if it would give you the results you want. I ultimately sought 2 further remedies, that proved mighty: acupuncture and bodily cure. Acupunture stimulates integral stream to the places in soreness, and likewise averted nerve harm to my thumb. Physical cure re-taught a few of my muscle mass to paintings in an extra approach than they had been accustomed, in order that I did not re-injure the nerves and muscle mass so much affected. These are not merchandise such a lot as treating the supply of the hindrance. Hope this is helping. Good good fortune!

One of my friends on my Cross country team got tendinitis in his knee, and there weren't any bruises, and he just had to syop running for about 2 weeks and stay off his knee as much as he could to get t to go away

Hmm, it could be, but I've had tendinitis in both my Achilles and my wrist and it didn't bruise up. I'd go to webmd.com and use the symptom checker.
