Wrist pain from 10 days

I am having wrist pain from last 10 days. I lifted weight 2 months ago and felt pain that time . But i got subsided but now from last 9/10 days suddenly feeling pain again. I went to ortho he took n xray n said ulnar tendinitis. But now my concerns is whenever i search it on google about wrist pain it shows related to arthritis. Can arthritis give you pain only in single wrist . There is no visible swelling and stiffness. I am really worried after searching on google . Please help if this could be because other reason or arthritis. Does arthritis swelling noticeable by eyes or it is just little swell ?

Rheumatoid Arthritis

I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Doctor prescribed me Saaz DS tablet twice a day. However, for a second opinion when I consulted another Dr, he prescribed Tofacitinib. I am confused as i have heard that Tofacitinib is given to patients where Saaz tab doesn't work. Doctor told that Tofacitinib is more effective and potent medicine. Does it have more side effects than saaz tab?
