apply a cold hot pack round ur thumb now. apply some pain relief gel followed by a hot compress. Is there any reason why you get pain? any activity like constant sending sms, typing etc causing the pain? Is there swelling around the thumb? If there is swelling then apply a cold compress not a hot one.
If there is swelling tape ur thumb to ur index finger after the compress and let it be there till swelling subsides. contact a Physical therapist for exercises to strengthen the muscles. One or two session at the max and believe me the amount is wel worth it.
It could be the weather. I always have problems when the weather is damp.
Yes if it is bothering you by all mean get it looked at but I had a simmalr problem with my sholder in the army and had to get it worked on and it still acts up with the weather but the pain goes away so since yours is not I would call your doctor and ask about it
I have the same problem with my arm, hand and shoulder; I was in a car accident a few years ago and really messed up my shoulder; hand and arm and now whenever the weather changes I feel it in my joints and bones. I would call your doctor though and see what they may suggest.
