"Wrist has been hurting here for like a couple of days. I talked to my mom (she's a doctor) and she said it's my tendon. I wrapped it up and will let it rest for a couple of weeks. Is there something else I need to know?"

https://theclimbingdoctor.com/tfcc-injury-a-common-source-of-wrist-pain-in-climbers/ Could be the TFCC. Check out the wrist widget, its a light weight brace that might help. Rest, Ice and Anti Inflammatory seem to be the play. 2-6 weeks from what I have been seeing depending on the severity.

Tight/loose tape gloves and lots of steep jamming?

Schedule an appointment to see a hand therapist? They will give you excersises you can perform at home.  You maybe able to search for excersises you can do.

every climber gets this pain 

TFCC

laser treatment helps

so does acoustic sound wave 

so does ultrasound

to make the area heal

injectible peptides like mk677 and growth hormone

btw

u got crazy calluses from lifting heavy?

maybe switch to isometric work outs only that to will help

and go climb friction slab and OW more

no bouldering no cracks no over hang

Potential tfcc tendon tear. Healing it might be a hassle. I had a partial tear. after some rest and time off I now do light wrist curls daily and do light hangboarding  multiple times a week. Helped a ton

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
