I follow the Mark Rippatoe program and he talks about your exact problem.

You want the bar to be balanced atop your forearms. No wrist action at all. It takes some time to train your brain and you'll probably want to drop your weight while you modify your approach.
It feels like it very well could be tendonitis. I'll check out Mark Rippatoe.

Lewdog and JiveTurkey, have either of you ever used wrist braces? I see some guys use them anytime they do anything overhead. I'd rather just be able to do things without anything like that, but I don't want to take 2 months off, either.
