What Causes Pain At The Base Of Thumb Without A Fracture?

Hi I fell over four weeks ago and have pain at the base o fmy thumb. I went to A and E it was xrayed and put into a cast. The cast has been on for 3 weeks i went back to the hospital yesterday they took it off and xrayed it again. The doctor says he can nt see a fracture he has told me to come back in 2 weeks and if it still hurts he will then do a scan. I have now come home with no cast but the pain is still there can you help?
