What are you worried about? Surgery,total loss of strength in your
hands, both?
I don't think a week will do it either. As someone who was diagnosed
with tendinitis in both elbows, (no longer a problem) and CTS in both
wrists (was recommended to have surgery, didn't do it, and am happy I
didn't), I know the fear. What I was given for my CTS was shots of
celestone, which reduced the inflammation for 4-6 weeks, until it came
back. I've done some PT as well, and recommend a book by Pascarelli
for the tendon exercises, at least, as well as postures. You don't
say what you do for a living, but that could affect your tendinitis as
well.
Anyway, good luck to you.
