Hours ago i got this burning sensation where my thumb and wrist meet up. can anyone tell me what it could be and what can i do?

Tendon injury: inflammation or trauma to the tendon sheath of the thumb would be the first thought Have you overworked or traumatised your thumb? It may get better spontaneouly if you rest the thumb!
