Well,
If you really have tendonitis you need to rest. You also need to get a neck strap for your clarinet to remove the weight of the instrument from your right hand.
Practise no more than 20minutes at a time with the neckstrap, and stop as soon as pain kicks in, take long breaks. It is very important that you do not worsen the problem or you might not be able to play at all.
And I have a good news for you, you can still improve while not playing. Listen to recordings of the great players, try to understand their phrasing, discern their different tone colors, compare different interpretation fo the same work. Next time you pick up the instrument you will have many new ideas on how to approach music, and that's what really matters, music and what you put in it.
Best of luck,
-S
