The swelling kept going down and then flare up. When the swelling was down I couldn't put my wrist into extension/hyper extension when putting weight on it (ie a push up). The tendonitis is gone (at least I think so, I pretty sure i know what it feels like). But it's been 2 years of this off and on tendonitis with lack of weight bearing. I was in a brace for several months and lost some muscle tone and flexibility which is pretty much back to normal now. All my x-rays have come back normal. My physio is doing deep muscle massages to release the tension in my forearm, which helps a bit.

Does anyone have any advise on what exercises I should do? Or any idea what could be causing the lack of extension? Could this have been caused by the car accident? I think the tendonitis is just coming back due to the weakness in the wrist. Thanks for any help.

Personally I would like to know your hand grip strength compared to the other side, and compare the position of your joints compared to the other side, and compare your pincer grip to the other side, and overall finger spacing via adduction/abduction, and joint mobility overall... The reasons being that to return normal movement to that hand it will be important to consider such factors.
