The knucklejoint in my right thumb hurts

2017-08-16 13:26:25
Suddenly without any special movement my right thumb started to hurt. More specificly the "knucklejoint" started to hurt. Now several hours later my thumb still hurts equally much if not more and its starting to get swolen. My thumb feels warm and very tender and my movement is very limited. Please help me figure out what i should do about this.
