If you gave age, occupation and gender it would be a help. This could be osteoarthritis. An x-ray might help.
Hi duggs13.
You also need to rule out Raynaud's Disease, which could be primary or secondary to a long list of conditions, many of them being connective tissue
conditions AND could be an early symptom of these conditions as well.
Take care,

Sounds like you injured your thumb joint at some earlier point, and it's become arthritic. Massage and regular flexing may provide some relief of that condition.
If the pain's bothersome, heat may help and there are over the counter anti-inflammatory salves you could try (anti-inflammatories are not good for our bodies in the long term and some people cannot tolerate them well anyway). Another over the counter supplement you might try would be glucosamine and chondroitin containing capsules.
