What Causes Pain And Hard Nodule In The Palm?

Several days ago I felt a pain in my palm near the base of my thumb. It felt like there was a small hard nodule when I pressed on my palm. The next day the pain began to radiate out from that spot and was fairly intense. Last night I could not sleep for about two hours due to the pain and took tylenol. After an hour the pain subsided and I got to sleep. This morning the pain was minimal but then returned again this evening. I am 65 years of age and in good health. This may have coincided with some yard work in which I trimmed some bushes for about 30 minutes. I do 2-3 hours of yard work a week, so this was not an unusual activity.
