Accepted Answer

Trigger fingers: Per your description, you have trigger/lokcing fingers. This can be quite painful. It is caused by thickening and roughening of the "pulley" aparatus that catches the tendon as it tries to slide through..Motrin/aleve in adequate dosage and stretching exercise may help, but often need medical intervention--injections and/or surgery.
Consult your doc...
Good luck.

These conditions are often accompanied by pain during certain motions of the thumb. Unresolved symptoms should be evaluated by a dr.
