I have a burning stinging pain in my left thumb and area under it on my palm what's this?

Gamekeeper's thumb: It may be from over use of items such as handheld video games, or other thumb-powered devices/controllers. If cold compresses, advil or tylenol, (acetaminophen) and a couple of days' rest do not improve it, then you should ask your dr or an urgent care dr about it.
