Could be tendinitis. Physical therapy will help.

Could be tendinitis called de Quervains. See your local hand surgeon!

May have Dequervains Tendinosis if on thumb side also known as French Washer Woman’s Disease.If so a cortisone injection usually helps if the pain is bad enough.See an orthopedic surgeon for an accurate diagnosis
It sounds like you may have de Quervain's tenosynovitis. It is a common condition well-described on orthoinfo.org and WebMD.

Good luck,

This sounds like tendinitis of the tendons that helped to bring your thumb up. There’s a condition called Dequervains tenosynovitis that can cause those symptoms. Treatment usually involves combination of anti-inflammatories, occupational therapy, wrist/some brace, possible injection of Cortisone.
