And if you read the OP's question he was asking for "advice on th many types of wraps offered which is what I did". They are from from a tourniquet and are a viable solution for many recreational lifters.
ill go so far as to posit that they actually offer some "rest" to the tendon by shifting the load. As stated by POB, few of us actually "rest" any injury.
He did ask for advice but from the sound of it I think he wants a solution to this nagging and painful problem and not a temp fix. He's already cut back on his lifting which one would posit that he's tired of it and ready to fix it. Putting a strap on his forearm won't fix it. It'll only prolong the issue and possibly create additional ones at the same time since he's shifting the load.
