I had a soft tissue injury of the base of my thumb. 3 1/2 months later it hurts to weight bear, carry things, open bottles, bring my thumb upward?

Difficult to say: If its been 3.5 months, i would recommend being evaluated by a health professional. However, this could be some type of ligamentous injury like a ucl tear, better known as a skier's or gamekeeper's thumb.
