While there is a chance you may have tendinitis (I'm not the expert), you should take a look at your left hand technique and how that might be affecting your wrist.

Raise your strap and start playing in classical position while sitting down (guitar resting on left thigh, neck angled in the air), and play with your thumb behind the neck at a 90 degree angle with the floor.

It might look/feel weird at first but classical position forces you to keep the proper wrist/forearm angle and makes it easier to keep your thumb behind the neck instead of having stick over.

This actually makes it easier and more comfortable to make large fast stretches that may have given you pain before.

Play with as little tension as possible as well, don't force speed.
