If you are like me and prefer the homebrew solutions:

Take a broom handle and just rotate it in your hands for a minute. Add a string on that and a _small_ weight, and continue adding weight slowly (rolling the weight up to the bar and then back down). (edit: slowly being weekly)

Squeeze a stress ball for a solid 5 minute session in the morning.

Pushup type motions focusing on rotating through wrist angles once you are able.

I would recommend these to the healthy - if you are severely injured go to a doctor and get better first.

Do you use your whole hand/s to rotate the broom handle or just your fingers?

Whole hand.
