If you have not been hit by anything, this may be dequervain's tenosynovitis. In other words, the tendons in your thumb may be inflammed.
Next Steps
You have to stop lifting weights for 3 weeks, apply ice (5 to 6 times a day), apply a crepe bandage and take mild painkillers...if this does not work, you may require a steroid injection...
