Brief Answer:
Tendonitis likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Due to excessive stress it seems that you are suffering from tendonitis of the thumb. It usually subsides with proper rest and pain killers in few weeks. For earlier relief you can-
1. Give enough rest to your hand muscle.
2. Take mild pain killers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
3. Stronger prescription NSAIDS with muscle relaxants may help if simple analgesics do not help.
4. Hot compresses to your thumb will be useful pain relieving measure. You may apply a local analgesic gel on that area.
5. Avoid all painful movements and bending the thumb till the pain subsides completely.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
