Lots of similar experiences and good advice here – my D also suffered from right wrist tendonitis (violinist). One suspected culprit not yet mentioned is the incredibly heavy backpacks / shoulder packs that high school students carry around. The restriction of blood flow at the right shoulder caused by her school bag was likely a contributing factor to her wrist tendons’ inability to recover from the strain of practice.
