Suggest Treatment For Tenderness And Discomfort In Thumbs

I type on a keyboard on a daily basis for years and years. I experience, discomfort and pain in my Thumbs, when I spend time cutting and chopping, vegetables/meat for meals. Also discomfort and sensitivity in thumbs, when pulling my pants up or down, since typically you pull your pants up with your thumbs. When I type at work I have no discomfort?
