It seems to be trigger thumb. The tendons inside your thumb are not being able to move freely...
Next Steps
You may apply a hot water bag twice a day and see if the symptoms reduce. But if they dont, you will need a steroid injection in your thumb or surgery (to free up the movement of the tendons)
