Hi,
In my opinion at this site common problem is trigger thumb. (at the base of thumb). Take pain killers, hot fomentation, local application of analgesic cream. If there is no relief in about 10 days then go for MRI as suggested.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Gopal Goel
