My fellow respondents are correct that PT is your best bet. Radiographs will hot help but an EMG might to ascertain if you’ve got nerve involvement and where. I’m going through this currently too and wearing wrist braces to sleep and stretching exercises during the day. At 73 I’m not having surgery so I preserver with pain, numbness and cramps in my forearms and hands.

@jenatsky Are you getting any improvement? My husband is just a couple years younger than you and will be starting occupational therapy for an inflamed bicep tendon, and another inflamed elbow tendon. They showed up bright white on the MRI. That has been very painful for him and his knee is bothering him now too. I guess the OT will be scraping the tendons with Graston tools to try to clean up the inflammation.
