I struggle a little with tendinitis in my forearms. The exercise that works best for me is to:

1) Hold your arm out straight.
2) Make a loose fist with your hand.
3) Then, attempt to touch the underside of your wrist with your fingertips, while keeping your arm out straight.
4) Hold for 10 seconds and then rest for a few seconds.
5) Repeat steps 1-4 twice more, and do this 3 times daily.

Using that method your fist will point downward and your fingertips will reach upward. It's impossible to actually touch the underside of your wrist with your fingertips (of the same hand, obviously), but the tendon that runs along the top of your forearm gets a good stretching!

Sorry, I have no shoulder exercises, but undoubtedly others will. Good luck!
