Paging Dr Ramzi!
Ah, my friend. If only I could help you. I've tried doing so before, and was met with a bunch of angry, aggressive emails telling me how I'm totally ignorant and a charlatan, and that the entire field of western medicine is utterly useless, and so on. Hence, as you've resolved in 2020 to get buff, I've resolved to just keep my head down, plow forward, avoid giving unsolicited advice, avoid rattling the cages, focus on minding my own business, and trying to avoid stress, because life is too short, and it's not worth it. I have plenty more to say, but I don't want to hijack this thread.
I recommend consulting with a team of multidisciplinary healthcare professionals that specialize in a wide array of modalities including western, eastern, holistic, nutritional, exercise-based, etc. Good luck.

I cannot believe you would recommend consulting with snake oil selling healthcare professionals! The internet says I need to do 300 of these exercises as fast as possible, and if it hurts then I need to inject more growth hormone directly into into my hand. 
Oh man. People need to chill. I was sort of joking as I would t expect you to give personal advice like that.
You guys make good points and I think I will ask my psychiatrist (err um physiatrist rather) about it to avoid hurting myself. But if they don’t have me playing like Yngwie by 2021....

You seem to know a lot about anatomy of arm, wrist and hand. How about these 7 exercises? Do you recommend them?
He seems legit, in that he is an actual orthopedic surgeon MD specializing in arms.
The first three exercises he shows are warmup exercises. I like them. When he says "for 30 seconds", also pay attention to the rate - so he actually means "about 20 reps" per set. I think they are good general warmup exercises before starting guitar playing. Notice no as-fast-as-possible jerky motions, no 300 reps, no real intensity - the goal instead is to warm up the hand and its muscles.
The rest use dumbbells and are aimed at building up the respective muscles he talks about (brachioradialis; flexors; extensors). They seem fine as well (if you have atrophy or insufficient development relative to surrounding muscles), but note that if you are a habitual gym-goer lifting weights, or doing any manual labour, you do not likely need to do these dumbbell exercises separately; or at least take that into account and decrease the intensity, frequency, and repetitions relative to what he recommends. Like if you are doing deadlifts in the gym, it is unlikely you need separate flexor exercises.
Also note how he says to do the warmup first and only then the weighted exercises - rather than start the dumbbell stuff cold. This is good practice for any exercising.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm gonna include the first 3 exercises in my warm-up routine. Not sure I'll do the remaining exercises with dumbbells.
Do you know any good exercises for strengthening extensor tendons of the right hand?
