Hello,
Thanks for your query.
it looks to me that you are having inflammation of tendon sheaths most probably of thumb.. It is also called as Dequervain's teno synovitis. In this disease there is pain on movements specially which you have described.
Other possibilities of pain in hand are wrist synovitis and carpel tunnel. But these two conditions are painful during rest also . So I think this is not there in your case. For confirmation you need to see an orthopaedic doctor. He can examine you and confirm it. I do not think x ray will be needed.
Treatment is analgesics, splinting and steroid injection at tendon sheath.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
