Brief Answer:
Maybe thumb arthritis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I have gone through your images and query. It looks like thumb arthritis. I would suggest you to take Tab. Etoshine 90 mg once a day for 5 days for pain. Continue other medicines she is taking.

She can also soak her hand in warm water for 15 mins twice daily for a week. At present as it is acute it is adviced to rest later when the hot phase is over she can do some exercises and physiotherapy.

In case it persists it is best to meet an orthopedician for a detailed examination an treatment.

I hope this answered your query.

With regards,
