“In most cases, if a cyclist refrains from cycling and receives appropriate treatment, the inflammation and pain will disappear within two to four weeks”

Also what types of bars? You ride cruisers?
I doubt by arms\wrist could manage that long with the bar types I've seen.

Perhaps a very well fit bike and a more correct -(for you) type bar.
Road bikes use drop bars =multiple hand positions, mtb use bar ends =same thing.

I find the ONLY position I can stand really is the mtb foreward position.
I carefully set my bike XC style so that i have a good =ballance of weight seat\peddle\hands.

It may be a result of stress from dirtbikes if you are currently doing that as well.
Lay off both for the recommended time and maybe look into the ergonomics of cycling and different hand\bar positions.

The artical had a good few points to consider.
Get well soon.
