Welcome on board.
How much was the improvement in your PB? If it was "significant" it sounds like you were doing something new and different stresses were in play. Assuming you have not suddenly lost back pressure, it could be that you were holding your string further forward, in the first joint or on the pads of your fingers. This tends to add more strain to the affected tendons than the "deep hook". However, it does give less time for your fingers to interfere with the string, so could explain an improvement in performance. So, as others say, get someone to look at your release. I would guess that you have previously used a deep-hook but with a jerky release.
And listen to the medics! You ARE injured, and rushing back can make things worse, possibly permanently.
